Concerto Köln is an ensemble specialising in music of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

In 1992 they founded the Cologne Festival of Early Music with the aid of Deutschland Radio.

They receive no government subsidies, and do not have a permanent conductor, though the group has an artistic director, Martin Sandhoff.

Their repertory stretches from early Baroque on through the Classical Era and as far into the nineteenth century as Wagner.

They have recorded frequently with, among others, René Jacobs, Daniel Harding, Louis Langrée, David Stern, Ivor Bolton, Marcus Creed, Christopher Moulds and Evelino Pidò.
