Experience Johannes Zurl live on October 22nd

Johannes Zurl will present a concert at the Staatstheater Cottbus on October 22, 2026. Zurl is a German composer and sound artist known for his work exploring the intersection of acoustic instruments, electronic processing, and field recordings. His compositions often feature extended techniques, microtonality, and a focus on timbre and spatialization, resulting in soundscapes that are both delicate and immersive. He frequently incorporates elements of improvisation and site-specific approaches into his performances.

The Staatstheater Cottbus, located in Cottbus - Chóśebuz, Germany, is a multi-disciplinary theatre offering opera, operetta, musicals, plays, concerts, and ballet. The theatre’s history dates back to 1909 with the opening of the *Stadttheater*, though the current building complex was substantially rebuilt following damage during World War II and further renovated in the early 2000s. It serves as an important cultural institution for the region of Brandenburg and historically reflects the area’s German-Sorbian cultural heritage; “Chóśebuz” represents the Sorbian name for Cottbus.
