VIVALDI – AT FULL VOLUME
Concerto Copenhagen welcomes you to Vivaldi’s Venice—at full throttle!
Concerto Copenhagen opens the doors to the Academy’s Concert Hall on Sunday, May 11, at 4 p.m., when the orchestra, together with several international soloists and the Swiss star soprano Marie Lys, will transform the Academy’s Concert Hall into an evening in Venice.
You can look forward to a concert featuring festive trumpet and horn pieces, virtuoso arias, and iconic music from the Baroque era.
Music from Venice – magnificent and enchanting
The music of Venice is just like the city itself: magnificent, dazzling, breathtakingly beautiful, and enchanting. With this concert, Concerto Copenhagen pays tribute to Venice and one of the city’s most famous sons—the composer Antonio Vivaldi.
Vivaldi is known throughout the world, particularly for his work “The Four Seasons,” one of classical music’s most beloved and recognizable pieces. He was born and spent most of his life in Venice, where he composed an overwhelming amount of music across many genres, not least opera.
During the Baroque period, Venice was one of Europe’s foremost centers of trade, art, and music. The city attracted composers and musicians from near and far. The Venetian style set a tone that extended far beyond the city’s canals.
World-class virtuosity
Vivaldi’s operas are known as some of the most technically demanding music, requiring the very best from both musicians and singers. For this concert, Concerto Copenhagen presents a selection of these virtuoso arias, performed by the Swiss star soprano Marie Lys.
The orchestra’s own soloists are also ready to impress with festive trumpet and horn concertos that showcase the splendor and vitality of the Baroque era.
Venice – in FullSwing
The concert program features more than just music by Vivaldi. The audience can also look forward to works by other Venetian composers such as Albinoni, Scarlatti, and Porpora— names that may be unfamiliar to some, but the Italian atmosphere of Venice will certainly be recognizable.
In addition, the evening features music by the great masters of the Baroque era, the German composers Handel and Heinichen, both of whom were inspired by their visits to Venice. The result is a concert that unites the best of Venice’s musical tradition with the European sound of the Baroque.
A glamorous evening ahead
Look forward to an evening filled with some of the Baroque era’s most sweeping, brilliant, virtuosic, and charming music.
