New Colours Festival with Markus Stockhausen: A Sunday Morning Full of Sound Colors
On September 27, 2026, the New Colours Festival brings its special blend of jazz, new music, and open concert dramaturgy to Kunstraum Norten in Gelsenkirchen. On stage is Markus Stockhausen, a trumpeter whose artistic biography, with its unique signature, international collaborations, and curiosity for sound, is among the most exciting in German jazz. The festival itself focuses in 2026 on four days, seven venues, and a program that develops its own narrative in industrial spaces and extraordinary locations.

A Festival That Brings Spaces to Life
New Colours does not see itself as an ordinary concert series, but as a curated festival atmosphere with an attitude. The organizer describes the concept as an artistic decision for boundary crossings, new perspectives, and characterful places. This is exactly where the strength of this multi-day experience lies: Each stage receives its own color, each performance has a different acoustic and spatial effect.

Markus Stockhausen Group: Open, Precise, Surprising
Markus Stockhausen does not come as a soloist in the classical sense, but with his group consisting of Jeroen van Vliet, Jörg Brinkmann, and Christian Thomé. The ensemble thrives on contrasts: Trumpet, piano, cello, and drums merge into an open form that continuously reorganizes itself live. In Kunstraum Norten, an unusual venue for intimate concerts in Gelsenkirchen, this creates an intense listening experience with clear proximity to the audience.

Sunday Matinee with Festival Character
The time at 11:30 AM lends the performance a special tension: not a loud festival culmination moment, but a focused morning with plenty of space for fine dynamics, improvised transitions, and the typical live magic of jazz and new music. New Colours thus aims for a deliberately different festival feel, where not only the lineup but also the daily rhythm becomes part of the dramaturgy.
