Fandango!

Concerto Copenhagen invites you to a fiery fandango and Southern European elegance.

Concerto Copenhagen opens the doors to an evening of fandango, where southern warmth and baroque vitality meet in music by Boccherini, Soler and Rossini.

With historical instruments and characteristic CoCo energy, the ensemble brings 18th century Southern Europe to life - from the Spanish dance hall to the Italian convent and opera stage.

Boccherini settled in Spain in 1768 and let the Spanish sound take root in his music. His guitar quintets exude rhythm and refined poetry - a rare gem in the classical repertoire that Concerto Copenhagen brings to light.

Rossini was only 12 when he wrote his first sonatas for two violins, cello and double bass - full of youthful exuberance and melodic inventiveness that heralded his later operatic success.

Antonio Soler, monk and court composer, spent most of his life in a Spanish monastery - but the music he left behind is anything but stuffy. His iconic fandango - albeit anonymously handed down - is an explosive, almost hypnotic round dance of variations and rhythms.

Concerto Copenhagen takes the audience on a captivating journey through southern European baroque and classical music. It will be energetic, elegant - and guaranteed to be alive.
