Camerata

This Christmas, just like every year, CAMERATA, choir and orchestra under the direction of conductor Jakob Hultberg will perform one of the most beloved classical choir works: The beautiful oratory The Messiah.

This year, however, the concerts are particularly special, for it is the last time that Jakob Hultberg will stand at the helm. However, it his not his last concert with the choir: he will bid CAMERATA a final farewell with a nostalgic New Year’s Concert in Esajas Church.

To celebrate the era under the artistic direction of Jakob Hultberg, we have put together an absolutely remarkable team of soloists and musicians for this year’s Messiah, who, together with the choir, will transport the whole of Holmen Church and the audience all the way up into the clouds.

We look forward to wishing you a very happy Christmas.

CONCERT DATES:

The Messiah in Holmen Church: 17th, 18th and 21st December. All days at 7:30 pm. SOLD OUT!

Nostalgic New Year’s Concert in Esajas Church: 6th January 4:00 pm. Free of charge.

“… Snow was falling, and it was almost dark. Evening came on, the last evening of the year. In the cold and gloom a poor little girl, bareheaded and barefoot, was walking through the streets …”

With Christmas right around the corner, the concert “The Little Match Girl” focuses on those, who have nowhere to go.

As nights grow longer and days shorten, CAMERATA will shine a light in Esajas Church accompagnied by an ensemble of professional musicians. We invite you to join us in a moment of reflection on the fairytale “The Little Match Girl” by Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen. It is a tale of a life ended too soon, without anyone noticing, as the big city harshly rushes on.

In this concert, CAMERATA is collaborating with the acknowledged Swedish choir conductor Sofia Söderberg, who experiments with performance designs, letting storytelling and music complement each other. Sofia Söderberg has composed a program, which reflects and interprets the moods of the fairytale “The Little Match Girl”.

Concert on November 26^th, 4 pm in Esajas Church, Malmøgade 14, 2100 Copenhagen Ø.
