Concerto Köln is an ensemble of young musicians who have stamped their hallmark on the interpretation of music, mainly of the 16th and 17th centuries. Their collective skill, technique and drive certainly opens your ears to an innovative way of presenting familiar material. There is no conductor. Spontaneity within an outline of a common goal is the basis of their music-making. Each performance is a unique event. Live concerts are adventures in sight, sound, imagination and team spirit.
