A Sunday Morning Full of Sound Colors and Festival Magic
The New Colours Festival brings the unique atmosphere of the Ruhr area into a rare musical state on September 27, 2026: concentrated, open, surprising. In the Kunstraum Norten, the Markus Stockhausen Group meets a place that already sounds like intimacy and discovery. The official festival communication describes New Colours 2026 as a four-day, cross-location festival with ten venues and thirteen acts; the performance of Markus Stockhausen is anchored as a Sunday concert at 11:30 AM.

The Sound of an Exceptional Musician
Markus Stockhausen is not an artist who can be pigeonholed. Trumpet, flugelhorn, new music, and jazz blend in his open musical storytelling. On the festival stage, he brings together a quartet with Jeroen van Vliet, Jörg Brinkmann, and Christian Thomé that reacts spontaneously and creates sound spaces instead of just playing pieces. The strength of this performance lies exactly in this: every phrase remains alive, every twist can color the space anew.

Kunstraum Norten as a Special Resonance Space
The Kunstraum Norten at Im Brömm 9 in Gelsenkirchen is not just any concert venue, but a private place with its own aura. For the New Colours Festival, it becomes the concentrated setting for a multi-day experience where room acoustics, closeness, and attention shape the music. The festival description particularly highlights this uniqueness: the venues are not interchangeable but are part of the artistic narrative.
