The solistenensemble stimmkunst, founded in 2003 for the widely- acclaimed concert cycle “Bach:vokal” at the Stiftskirche Stuttgart, presents vocal music composed by Kay Johannsen. Johannsen – Kantor of the Stiftskirche, an organist with a busy international career, passionate improviser, enquiring choral and orchestral conductor, and composer with a fine feeling for sound and rhythm – wrote the pieces between 2001 and 2018. The varied program includes compositions for different unaccompanied choral scorings, plus works for solo, choir and instrumental accompaniment.
