Carola Bauckholt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carola Bauckholt (born August 21, 1959 in Krefeld ) is a German composer , publisher and intermedia artist.

Life

After working for several years at the Krefeld Theater am Marienplatz TAM , Bauckholt studied from 1978 to 1984 at the Cologne University of Music with Mauricio Kagel . In 1985 she founded the Thürmchen Verlag together with others, and since 1991 she has also been working in the Thürmchen Ensemble.

She has received numerous scholarships and awards (including at the B. A. Zimmermann Competition in the Cologne Society for New Music in 1987 and at the Carl Maria von Weber Competition, Dresden 1992/93) and represented Germany at the World Music Days in Copenhagen in 1996 and Seoul 1997.

A central moment in Bauckholt's works is thinking about the phenomenon of perception and understanding. Her compositions often mix elements from performance , musical theater and concert music. For this she likes to use noisy sounds, which are often generated with unfamiliar means and not incorporated into a given compositional grid, but are observed and continued in their free development.

Bauckholt was elected as a member of the music section of the Berlin Academy of the Arts in 2013, and in 2020 as a member of the arts class of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences and the Arts .
