Concerto Copenhagen has embarked on a journey of exploration for over 30 years, delving into the music of the Baroque, Viennese Classical, and Early Romantic periods with historical awareness and unwavering dedication. Today, the ensemble holds a prominent position in its field, both nationally and internationally. Under the musical guidance of Lars Ulrik Mortensen, Concerto Copenhagen combines a meticulous approach to historical material with artistic originality, continuously evolving in performance style and presentation. This ensures that the music comes to life through vibrant rejuvenation, remaining relevant to contemporary audiences. Since its inaugural concerts in 1991, Concerto Copenhagen has released numerous internationally acclaimed albums and participated in hundreds of concerts, opera productions, and soundtrack and video projects worldwide. With a repertoire that combines well-known European compositions with lesser-known works of Scandinavian origin and contemporary music, the orchestra celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2021. In recognition of its exceptional artistry, Lars Ulrik Mortensen and Concerto Copenhagen were awarded the prestigious ‘Artist of the Year’ title by Danish Radio P2 in 2022.
