FINAL TICKET Sponsorship (John Cage Organ Foundation Halberstadt)

The John Cage Organ Foundation Halberstadt inaugurates a unique funding concept in the field of culture & music with the FINAL TICKET Sponsorship. Private individuals from Saxony-Anhalt have the opportunity to become part of a globally unique sound installation by acquiring an artistically designed metal plaque valued at €2,640 (plus shipping) – the so-called “Final Ticket” art share. This extraordinary project is based on John Cage’s composition ORGAN²/ASLSP, which has been sounding almost continuously “as slow as possible” in the Burchardi Church in Halberstadt since 2001 and will conclude in a symbolic final event in the year 2640. With the Final Ticket, sponsors secure their name’s mention and the right to participate in this historic performance – transferable, intergenerational, and conceived as a lasting artwork for their own walls.

The program is aimed at friends and supporters who wish to contribute to the long-term continuation of the John Cage Organ Art Project. There is no application deadline: the Final Ticket is available year-round and can be ordered at any time upon interest. This form of sponsorship creates a direct connection between sponsors and the foundation, which has so far relied solely on private commitment. The combination of corrosion-resistant metals, laser, and milling technology ensures a counterfeit-proof and permanently aesthetic art object. Thus, the Final Ticket functions not only as an admission ticket to the music-historical spectacle of 2640 but also as a visible testament to a personal and sustainable cultural contribution.
