CoCo’s Christmas Concert 2024 – Copenhagen
This year, Concerto Copenhagen celebrates the songs of Christmas with three magnificent Christmas concerts in collaboration with the Fredensborg Palace Church Girls’ Choir, Trinitatis Kantori, and Sct. Nicolai Cantori.
We’ve put together a selection of well-known and classic Christmas tunes, each of which, in its own way, celebrates what we associate with Christmas—the things that bring us closer together and bring warmth and joy to the winter darkness.
That is why Concerto Copenhagen invites you to a very special Christmas experience as we visit Elsinore Cathedral, Trinitatis Church, and Køge Church. Under the musical direction of internationally acclaimed soprano Joanne Lunn, Concerto Copenhagen, the Fredensborg Palace Church Girls’ Choir, Trinitatis Kantori, and Sct. Nicolai Cantori will fill the churches with Christmas spirit, joy, and warmth.
The audience can look forward to an atmospheric concert experience where Christmas musical traditions come together with the unique interplay of voices and instruments.
For centuries, Christmas hymns and carols have brought people together, and they form the foundation of much of the classical music we know and love to listen to during the Christmas season. The melodies date all the way back to medieval songs and have inspired the great European composers throughout history. By singing and playing them, we thus connect not only with one another, but also with times past.
At these concerts, local choirs will perform alongside Concerto Copenhagen and soprano Joanne Lunn, joined by three distinguished soloists—Jakob Bloch Jespersen (bass), Anna Caroline Olesen (mezzo-soprano), and Martin Monrad Møller (tenor)—in a musical celebration that promises a Christmas atmosphere you won’t soon forget.
