CoCo's Summer Concerts 2025: Small concerts – great composers
Bright nights with great music, where every masterpiece is a small concert in itself. From rare gems by Muffat to Telemann's legendary surprises and Bach's unforgettable Brandenburg Concerto No. 3.
Imagine going to one concert – and experiencing six. In ‘Small concerts – great composers’, Concerto Copenhagen takes you through the diverse sound world of the Baroque, where each work is a small concert in itself. With small ensembles but great music, the focus is on the chamber music format – with virtuosity, rich detail, and sensual interplay.
Under the baton of Lars Ulrik Mortensen, Concerto Copenhagen presents two rare works by the peace-loving and overlooked Baroque master Georg Muffat – a true bridge builder between French, German, and Italian styles and an ardent admirer of Corelli. From here, we move on to two of Telemann's surprising and imaginative concertos for four violins – without bass! – which challenge both form and expectations.
Next, the program offers two works by Vivaldi, where double the soloists also means double the drama and intensity – a concerto for two violins and one for two cellos. The evening rounds off with Bach's iconic Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 – a concerto grosso without soloists, where the entire ensemble sparkles in unison.
An evening of many small concerts – and great musical moments.
