Artistic Director
Lars Ulrik Mortensen
Lars Ulrik Mortensen began his career as a conductor about 20 years ago with “modern” orchestras in Sweden and Denmark, where his work at the Royal Danish Theatre in particular attracted considerable attention. Since 2003, however, he has focused on working with specialized ensembles using period instruments. Lars Ulrik Mortensen (b. 1955) studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Music and subsequently with Trevor Pinnock in London. From 1988 to 1990, Lars Ulrik Mortensen was a harpsichordist with London Baroque and, until 1993, with Collegium Musicum 90 under the direction of Simon Standage.
