Jonas Kocher

Jonas Kocher is a Swiss composer and accordionist, born in Nyon in 1977. He works in improvised and experimental music, and his process-oriented pieces move between composed theatre, installation and concert work. He performs in many duos and ensembles, among them a long-standing trio with Jacques Demierre and Axel Dörner. Kocher studied at the Bern University of the Arts with Teodoro Anzellotti, Pierre Sublet and Georges Aperghis, and now teaches improvisation there. With Demierre and Dörner he plays in the DDK Trio (Cone of Confusion, Bruit, 2018; A Right to Silence, 2023).
