Event Information

Concerto Copenhagen: Long live Vivaldi!

From Venice, to Denmark and to the rest of the world – Concerto Copenhagen brings to life the music that made Vivaldi world-famous.

Veni, vidi, vici – I came, I saw, I conquered. It is safe to say that Vivaldi did that. Although the composer himself did not travel very far, spending most of his life in Venice, his music gained both fame and admiration far and wide.

From birth, he had poor health and travelled reluctantly, and only with great difficulty. But his music travelled the world. From Dresden and Paris to Amsterdam, Poland and even Denmark, his works were played, admired and published. Vivaldi knew how to exploit Venice's status as one of Europe's most important centres for trade, art and music to spread his music and his name far beyond the city's canals.

This afternoon, Concerto Copenhagen performs the music that made Vivaldi world-famous. Hear examples of the music he performed for the Danish King Frederik IV, and witness some of the most colourful, brilliant and irresistibly energetic music from the Baroque era.

Concerto Copenhagen – ensemble for timeless music

For more than 30 years, Concerto Copenhagen has explored and performed the music of the Baroque, Viennese Classicism and early Romantic periods with historical awareness and artistic intransigence, and the orchestra today stands as an international beacon in its field. Musical director Lars Ulrik Mortensen and Concerto Copenhagen unite artistic authenticity and innovation and, through original interpretations, give the music new life and relevance for a modern audience. Concerto Copenhagen's musicians belong to the international elite of Baroque musicians, and since the first concerts in 1991, the orchestra has been on an exciting artistic and musical journey - appreciated and praised by audiences and critics worldwide. With a repertoire that combines well-known European music with lesser-known works of Scandinavian origin as well as new music, the orchestra marked its 30th anniversary in 2021, and was subsequently named P2 Artist of the Year 2022.

Biography

Biography - Concerto Copenhagen

En frontløber i barokmusikkens moderne renaissance

Concerto Copenhagen, også kendt som CoCo, blev grundlagt i 1991 og har siden udviklet sig til et af Skandinaviens førende barokorkestre. Under ledelse af cembalist Lars Ulrik Mortensen, som har været kunstnerisk leder siden 1999, har ensemblet opnået international anerkendelse for sin stilsikre og levende fortolkning af barok- og tidlig klassisk musik. Med originalinstrumenter og historisk opførelsespraksis kombinerer CoCo dyb musikalsk indsigt med en nutidig nerve, der giver nyt liv til ældre repertoire.

Koncerter med karakter og nærvær

Orkestret er kendt for sine energiske optrædener, hvor publikum møder barokmusikken i øjenhøjde – ofte med både musikalitet, humor og scenisk tilstedeværelse. Concerto Copenhagen spiller i koncertsale og kirker over hele Danmark, bl.a. i Trinitatis Kirke, DR Koncerthuset og Musikhuset Aarhus, og har desuden markeret sig stærkt internationalt med optrædener i byer som Berlin, London, Paris og Tokyo. Repertoiret spænder fra kendte komponister som Bach, Händel og Vivaldi til sjældne værker af nordiske og centraleuropæiske barokkomponister.

Et moderne ensemble med historisk rygrad

Concerto Copenhagen er mere end et orkester – det er en formidler af kulturarv og musikalsk dannelse. Udover koncerterne deltager ensemblet i tværkunstneriske samarbejder med sangere, teatre og dansere samt i workshops og formidlingsprojekter for børn og unge. Orkestret har udgivet en række roste indspilninger på internationale pladeselskaber, og dets produktioner får ofte anerkendelse for både faglig tyngde og kunstnerisk originalitet. Med afsæt i barokken og blikket rettet mod nutidens publikum, skaber CoCo koncertoplevelser, der bevæger og begejstrer.
