Johannes Zurl live in Cottbus - Chóśebuz

Experience Johannes Zurl live on November 21st

Johannes Zurl will perform a concert at Staatstheater Cottbus on November 21, 2026. Zurl is a German composer and musician known for his work in microtonal music, often incorporating just intonation and exploring extended instrumental techniques. His compositions frequently involve acoustic instruments, electronic elements, and a focus on timbre and sonic textures, resulting in pieces described as immersive and subtly shifting soundscapes. He often works with site-specific installations and performance contexts.

Staatstheater Cottbus is a publicly funded theatre encompassing opera, drama, ballet, concert performances, and children’s theatre. The theatre’s history dates back to 1950 with the founding of the Landestheater Cottbus; it received its current name in 1993. The main building itself opened in 1987, designed by architect Wolfgang Hofmann, and represents a significant example of late socialist architectural design in East Germany. Following German reunification, the theatre underwent restructuring to broaden its repertoire while maintaining its regional importance as a cultural institution for the Lusatia region (Lausitz). It serves both the city of Cottbus/Chóśebuz and the surrounding areas of Brandenburg and Saxony.
