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.

Trinity Church, Copenhagen

Stavnsholt Church

We welcome back Music Director Laureate Nicholas McGegan for this feast of French Baroque entertainment.
And what entertainment it is. Rameau’s music always defies expectations, and Les Surprises de l’Amour is no exception—the music of this opera-ballet is packed full of enchanting moments. Its companion here is a genre-defining piece that blends styles traditional and sensational, ballet and opera, French passion and Italian humor. Campra’s “The Carnival of Venice” was a smash hit in his time, and certainly continues to deliver that same one-of-a-kind thrill—a spirited experience like no other.

The Surprises of Love

In our traditional organ concert on New Year's Eve, the queen of instruments and four tubas come together in an unusual combination. Together, Katharina Königsfeld and the Melton Tuba Quartet present well-known classics in a new light. From the delicate, dance-like melodies of Tchaikovsky's "Flower Waltz," to the rapid Allegro from Rossini's overture of the opera "William Tell" with its dramatic energy, to Badinerie and March by Bach - the artful arrangements for organ and tuba also make his music shine in completely new colors. From profound passages to festive sounds - this evening is a musical highlight that bids farewell to the old year with style and energetically accompanies you into the new year! By invitation of the Dresden Philharmonic.
