Concerto Copenhagen CONCERTO COPENHAGEN Concerto Copenhagen gave its first performances in 1991 and was soon to become Scandinavia’s leading period instrument orchestra. Today it is known internationally as one of the most interesting and innovative baroque orchestras. Its trademark is vitality, style and a marked talent for communicating with the audience. In 1999 Lars Ulrik Mortensen was appointed Artistic Director. As recognition of his stature as one of the world’s leading harpsichord players and musical directors he was awarded the coveted Léonie Sonning Prize in 2007. The partnership between Concerto Copenhagen and Mortensen has resulted in an exciting musical journey, appreciated and praised by audiences and critics worldwide. Throughout the years Concerto Copenhagen has collaborated with internationally celebrated artists such as: Emma Kirkby, Andreas Scholl, Anne Sofie von Otter, Andrew Manze, Reinhard Goebel, Alfredo Bernardini and Andrew Lawrence-King who is the orchestra’s Principal Guest Conductor. Concerto Copenhagen’s CD recordings for the German label cpo, Deutsche Grammophone and BIS, as well as DVD productions for Harmonia Mundi and Decca, have attracted world wide attention and won several prestigious prizes. This has led to invitations from many of Europe’s leading concert venues and festivals as well as extensive tours to USA, Japan and Australia. Everywhere critics have placed Concerto Copenhagen in the first rank of international baroque orchestras. In Denmark their main partner is the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen where Concerto Copenhagen performs on an annual basis. Recent productions Nordic Artists Management / Denmark VAT number: DK29514143 http://nordicartistsmanagement.com have included works by Monteverdi and Mozart, as well as Händel’s XERXES, GIULIO CESARE, PARTENOPE and JEPHTA. Concerto Copenhagen’s media partner in Denmark is DR (Denmark’s Radio). Most concerts are recorded and broadcasted in Denmark as well as by the EBU network in most parts of the world. The orchestra is supported by the Danish Arts Council and is regarded as Denmark’s leading musical export within the field of classical music.

Tegner og forfatter Tea Bendix og musiker Poul Høxbro er rejst ind i barokkens musik og malerier og har skabt en børnebog om tidens fascination af landlivet, og om hvordan hyrdernes instrumenter blev en del af den sofistikerede hofmusik. Med bogen følger en CD med fortællingen indtalt som lydbog og med fransk og engelsk barokmusik indspillet af Concerto Copenhagen: Lully, Jaques Aubert og Playford – til store ører og til små ører. 2 3 25 ÅR MED WATERMUSIC CONCERTO COPENHAGEN FREDAG 10.

  • EUROPEAN UNION BAROQUE ORCHESTRA 2012 Inspired Performance
    EUROPEAN UNION BAROQUE ORCHESTRA 2012 Inspired performance. Real experience. "The European Union Baroque Orchestra is a perfect symbol of our united Europe and its ideals (...) a brilliant example of the Europe of excellence." Androulla Vassiliou, Commissioner for Education, Culture and Youth European Union Baroque Orchestra Tel. +44 1993 812111 Fax +44 1993 812911 Email [email protected] Web www.eubo.org.uk CONTENTS: PRESENTATION PROGRAMMES 2012 BIOGRAPHIES OF DIRECTORS PRESS REVIEWS In any profession, the move from student to practitioner is the most difficult and if you are a talented young baroque musician, difficult might sometimes seem like impossible. The problem is one of experience: to work with a top orchestra you need experience, but you can’t get the experience you need without working with a top orchestra. EUBO bridges this ‘experience gap’. Every year EUBO invites 100 talented young baroque musicians from across Europe to an orchestral audition course. The 25 successful candidates, typically from 12 or more different countries with an average age of 25 years, spend six months together, training, touring and performing throughout Europe and further afield under the direction of the world’s leading baroque specialists including in 2012 Lars Ulrik Mortensen, Margaret Faultless, Riccardo Minasi and Paul Agnew. At the end of each year, the students of EUBO move on into the professional world and the whole process, from audition to graduation, begins again. EUBO has been so successful in its mission that there are now former EUBO students in every major professional baroque ensemble in Europe. Since its foundation in 1985, the Orchestra has given concerts in more than 50 different countries as an Ambassador of the European Union.
