Trajal Harrell / Zürich Dance Ensemble: The Köln Concert

In THE KÖLN CONCERT, choreographer Trajal Harrell brings together one of the most famous solo piano recordings of all time, the “Cologne Concert“ by American jazz pianist Keith Jarrett, and songs by Canadian musician Joni Mitchell, two icons of music history who have not only shaped his own artistic practice but also generations with their music. Seven dancers from the Zurich Dance Ensemble, influenced by different dance traditions and styles, join their music in a tender way, devoting themselves to the intimate and vulnerable moment of encounter. THE KÖLN CONCERT was the first production by Trajal Harrell and the dance ensemble at Schauspielhaus Zürich in 2020. This summer, Trajal Harrell was awarded the Silver Lion at the Biennale Danza in Venice.
