Markus Stockhausen live in Gelsenkirchen

Experience Markus Stockhausen live on September 27th

Markus Stockhausen will perform at Kunstraum Norten in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on September 27, 2026. Stockhausen is a German trumpeter and composer known for a musical style that blends elements of jazz improvisation with contemporary classical music and electronic soundscapes. His work frequently incorporates extended techniques on the trumpet, exploring its sonic possibilities beyond traditional performance practices. He often collaborates across disciplines, integrating visual art and technology into his performances. He is the son of pioneering electronic music composer Karlheinz Stockhausen and has demonstrably been influenced by his father’s experimental approach to sound, though forging his own distinct path.

Kunstraum Norten is a privately-funded exhibition and event space situated within a former industrial complex in Gelsenkirchen. Established in 2016 by collector Reinhard Fischer, it focuses on showcasing contemporary art, particularly large-scale installations and works requiring significant spatial dimensions. The building itself, originally part of the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), contributes to the venue’s atmosphere; its robust architecture provides a contrasting backdrop for artistic presentations.
