the bottomline



The Cologne duo the bottomline takes listeners on an intergalactic journey in which space and time seem to dissolve. With their unique genre mix of jazz, classical and trip-hop, the duo has already caused quite a stir in the Cologne music scene and beyond. On their debut studio album »Forgotten Stars«, released at the end of 2022, Franzis Lating and Johannes Elia Nuß combine supposedly contradictory musical traditions and prove that it is possible to deal with the difficult issues of the present in a differentiated musical way. Music journalists have praised them as »a congenial, musically and technically highly talented duo« (Kölner Stadtanzeiger), »highly fashionable« (NDR Kultur Neo) and »fascinating« (Jazzthing & Blue Rhythm).

Please note: For organisational reasons, the concert has been relocated to Studio E of the Laeiszhalle.
