Concerto Köln
Biography
More than 30 years of world class performances characterised by a highly individual sound and a passion for the re-discovery of forgotten repertoire mark out Concerto Köln as one of today’s leading orchestras for historically informed performance. With one foot firmly rooted in Köln’s musical life, the orchestra is a regular guest at important musical venues worldwide. Highlight in 2023’s concert calendar is the USA-Tour in March with soprano Jeanine De Bique and a concert in the Carnegie Hall in New York. Also in 2023, the ensemble will be guest at the Händel-Festspiele in Göttingen and Halle, at the Toujours Mozart Festival in Salzburg and at the Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival in a production of Händel’s Flavio. In Juli, together with their honorary conductor Kent Nagano, Concerto Köln presents a new classical-romantic program at the Herrenchiemsee Festspiele. By now, the discography includes over 75 award-winning recordings including the Grammy award-winning record of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro with René Jacobs.
