The sound of Christiansfeld
On November 14, 2025, Concerto Copenhagen will visit Christiansfeld and invite guests to enjoy a full day of communication, fellowship, a long table dinner, and lots of music.
Christiansfeld had already made a name for itself at the end of the 18th century as a provocative revolutionary in the fields of education, gender equality, and, not least, music—aspects that are highly remarkable when compared to the rest of Denmark during that period.
Christiansfeld is home to Denmark's largest private collection of music manuscripts from the 18th century, which are crying out to be thoroughly researched, published, and disseminated. Both as Danish cultural heritage and, to a large extent, as transnational cultural heritage, Christiansfeld's music collection is a highly interesting subject, and Concerto Copenhagen has therefore set out to examine the old sheet music and perform the music as it might have sounded.
Concerto Copenhagen specializes in music from the 1600s and 1770s. The orchestra's musicians play on instruments from that period and use techniques and playing styles to recreate the sound that would have been heard at that time.
November 14 marks the culmination of a conference where Concerto Copenhagen has invited some of the world's leading researchers in Moravian music to share their perspectives on this unique tradition.
