Christmas Concert: Camerata Øresund with FIGURA Ensemble
As is tradition, you can experience extraordinary Christmas concerts in the Queen's Hall. This afternoon, Camerata Øresund has brought FIGURA Ensemble and some slightly unusual instruments!
Programme
Arcangelo Corelli: Concerto grosso in G minor (written for Christmas Eve)
Antonio Vivaldi: The Four Seasons: Winter
GF Handel: excerpt from Messiah
Christmas songs from the Danish treasury of songs
It is a tradition in the Diamond that the baroque ensemble Camerata Øresund rings in Christmas – and it is also a tradition that they break the framework of the traditional Christmas concert. Again this year you can have a concert experience out of the ordinary, but filled with baroque Christmas music, where something is added by FIGURA Ensemble instruments such as cimbalom and fujara. Occasionally the programme is spiced up with well-known Christmas songs that you can sing along to, arranged by Peter Bruun. Then the Christmas spirit is guaranteed!
The concert lasts a good hour and is a journey through the traditional music of Christmas – both in dialogue with the past and the present. Listen to, for example, Corelli's Christmas music, Vivaldi's Winter, where FIGURA's cimbalom virtuoso Aleksandra Dzenisenia shares the violin part with Camerata Øresund's violinist Peter Spissky, as well as excerpts from Handel's Messiah, but also Danish Christmas songs such as Dejlig er jorden and Det kimer nu til Julefest.
