Fandango!

Concerto Copenhagen invites you to enjoy fiery fandango and southern European elegance.

Concerto Copenhagen opens its 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 Spanish dance halls to Italian monasteries and opera stages.

Boccherini settled in Spain in 1768 and allowed Spanish sounds to take root in his music. His guitar quintets exude rhythm and refined poetry – a rare gem in the classical repertoire, which Concerto Copenhagen brings to light in a new way.

Rossini was only 12 years old when he wrote his first sonatas for two violins, cello, and double bass—full of youthful exuberance and melodic inventiveness, which foreshadowed his later success in opera.

Antonio Soler, monk and court composer, spent most of his life in a Spanish monastery – but the music he left behind is anything but stifling. 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 thrilling journey through Southern European Baroque and Classical music. It will be energetic, elegant – and guaranteed to be lively.
