CoCo Summer Concerts 2025: Small concerts - big composers
Bright nights of great music, where every masterpiece is a little concert in itself. From rare gems by Muffat to Telemann's playful surprises and Bach's unforgettable 3rd. Brandenburg Concerto.
Imagine going to one concert - and experiencing six. In 'Small concerts - big 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 big music, the focus is on the chamber music format - with virtuosity, attention to detail and sensuous interplay.
Under the direction 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! - that challenge both form and expectations.
Next, the program features two works by Vivaldi, where double the soloists means double the drama and intensity - a concerto for two violins and one for two cellos. The evening is rounded off with Bach's iconic 3rd Brandenburg Concerto. Brandenburg Concerto - a Concerto Grosso without soloist division, where the entire ensemble sparkles in unison.
An evening with many small concerts - and big musical moments.
