2nd Chamber Concert: Festive Music for Advent

Allerheiligen-Hofkirche

Concerto Copenhagen meets MGK* students in an exciting project that will culminate in a joint concert!

Every year, Concerto Copenhagen, under the direction of Peter Spissky, holds an intensive workshop with classical music students from MGK, where they work on the special playing techniques and musical expressions that are prevalent in baroque music. The course concludes with a concert where students and CoCo musicians play works by Vivaldi, Handel and Rameau together.

This concert tells a story we've heard many times before: a young, talented artist travels the world for inspiration, and in his encounter with the wider world, his life and art are transformed. These 'journeys of discovery' were taken by countless artists in the 18th and 19th centuries. But this formative journey would prove to have major consequences, not only for the artist himself, but also for art and history as a whole. For this journey changed Swedish music forever.

Experience the harmonious blend of nature and music with the Portland Baroque Orchestra's "Handel & Vivaldi: Autumn Light." This concert opens the 2024-25 season by delving into the elemental forces of nature through the evocative compositions of Vivaldi and Handel. Vivaldi's "Autumn" and "Winter" from "The Four Seasons" capture the vivid transitions from the vibrant colors of fall to the icy stillness of winter. These pieces are followed by Handel's powerful "Silete venti," where soprano Maya Kherani navigates the audience through the tumultuous fall storms into the serene embrace of winter nights. The concert also features Maria Margherita Grimani's "Sinfonia to Pallade e Marte" and Johan Helmich Roman's "Little Drottningholm Music," adding layers of historical richness to the evening. Under the artistic direction of Julian Perkins, with Carla Moore leading on violin and Rob Diggins as principal second violin, this Italian-inspired program promises a seamless intertwining of music and nature, offering a reflective and immersive auditory experience.

When we think of musical centers in Europe, Sweden doesn’t always come to top of mind, but Stockholm was a hot bed of musical genius. Hear the Boise Philharmonic Master Chorale as they join us singing in Swedish!
