Christmas concert: Camerata Øresund with Christian IV's Vocal Ensemble

Camerata Øresund is behind this year's atmospheric Christmas concert in The Black Diamond. They are joined by Christian IV's Vocal Ensemble for a concert paying tribute to the mother, healer and protector, the Virgin Mary, as well as the patron saint of music, Saint Cecilia. Both figures have inspired composers throughout the centuries to create works filled with fervour, power and beauty.

The music encourages contemplation, sensitivity and joy. Listen to music by the French Baroque masters Charpentier and Dumont, as well as Vivaldi's famous "Magnificat".

With this programme, Camerata Øresund continues its tradition of celebrating Christmas with less conventional programmes that challenge the regular repertoire of the traditional Christmas concert. The result is an intimate and immersive concert experience that offers a memorable highlight during the Christmas season.

After the concert, you can join the artists from the stage for a long-table dinner in the Salon. Reserve a seat at the table when buying your ticket.

Participants

Camerata Øresund consists of nine permanent musicians from both sides of the Øresund, but is occasionally expanded to include up to 30 musicians and singers. The ensemble is led by Baroque violinist Peter Spissky.

Christian IV's Vocal Ensemble consists of eight singers from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The repertoire is primarely a cappella from the Renaissance (1425-1625), but the ensemble is also interested in more recent music.
