CoCo's Christmas Concert 2024 – Copenhagen

This year, Concerto Copenhagen celebrates Christmas songs with three magnificent Christmas concerts in collaboration with Fredensborg Palace Church Girls' Choir, Trinitatis Kantori, and Sct. Nicolai Cantori.

We have compiled a handful of well-known and classic Christmas tunes, each of which pays tribute in its own way to what we associate with Christmas; that which brings us closer together and creates warmth and joy in the winter darkness.

That is why Concerto Copenhagen invites you to a very special Christmas experience when we visit Helsingør Cathedral, Trinitatis Church, and Køge Church. Under the musical direction of internationally renowned soprano Joanne Lunn, Concerto Copenhagen, 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 music traditions meet the unique interplay between voices and instruments.

Christmas hymns and songs have brought people together for centuries, and they form the basis for much of the classical music we know and love to listen to at Christmas time. The melodies date back to medieval songs and have inspired the great European composers throughout the ages. By singing and playing them, we connect not only with each other, but also with times gone by.

At these concerts, local choirs will perform alongside Concerto Copenhagen and soprano Joanne Lunn, with three prominent soloists also taking part – Jakob Bloch Jespersen (bass), Anna Caroline Olesen (mezzo-soprano), and Martin Monrad Møller (tenor) – in a musical celebration that promises a Christmas atmosphere you will not soon forget.
