VIVALDI – FULL BLAST
Concerto Copenhagen welcomes you to Vivaldi's Venice – at full blast!
Concerto Copenhagen opens the doors to the Conservatory Concert Hall on Sunday, May 11, at 4 p.m., where the orchestra, together with several international soloists and Swiss star soprano Marie Lys, will transform the Conservatory Concert Hall into an evening in Venice.
You can look forward to a concert featuring festive trumpet and horn concertos, virtuoso arias, and iconic music from the Baroque period.
The music of Venice – magnificent and seductive
The music of Venice is just like the city itself: magnificent, dazzling, breathtakingly beautiful, and seductive. 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, especially for his work "The Four Seasons," one of classical music's most beloved and recognizable works. He was born and lived most of his life in Venice, where he created an overwhelming amount of music in many genres, not least opera.
During the Baroque period, Venice was one of Europe's absolute centers for trade, art, and music. The city attracted composers and musicians from near and far. The Venetian style set a tone that reached far beyond the city's canals.
World-class virtuosity
Vivaldi's operas are known as some of the most technically challenging music, demanding the utmost from both musicians and singers. For this concert, Concerto Copenhagen presents a selection of these virtuoso arias, performed by 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 – at fullblast
The concert program does not only feature 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 will feature music by the great masters of the Baroque, the German composers Handel and Heinichen, both of whom were inspired by their visits to Venice. The result is a concert that combines the best of Venice's musical tradition with the European sound of the Baroque.
A glorious evening ahead
Look forward to an evening filled with some of the most dazzling, virtuoso, and charming music of the Baroque era.
