Nordic Harmony - Baroktoberfest 2026
Vokalensemblet Cantoque (IS)
,Höör Barock (SE)
Description
In the baroque, music knew no borders, and for this concert we continue our Nordic theme with a broadened horizon. In the programme we follow Nordic traces in a time when notes travelled freely between countries, courts and cultures. With music by Purcell, Buxtehude, Telemann, Campra and Händel – inspired, among other things, by the Swedish Düben Collection – a sonic landscape of festivity, celebration and immersion unfolds that knows no borders. Together with Cantoque Ensemble and Höör Barock we celebrate music’s ability to move, connect and bring people together across time and place – then as now. A feeling that is reinforced by Lene Juhl’s imaginative light installation. Baroque music – fresh from the barrel! Two days of baroque music, folk music, communal dining, folk dancing and musical surprises in the middle of Copenhagen. On 23–24 October Camerata Øresund once again opens its doors to Baroktoberfest – our informal celebration of baroque music, where the joy of music and the magic that arises when musicians and audience come closer to one another fill the air. This year we are heading north. From Icelandic folk tunes and longing sounds to festive vocal music and the melancholy and majesty of the English baroque – and a meeting between baroque and folk music that finally sends us straight onto the dance floor. Over two days you can experience four concerts with Camerata Øresund and international guests, join in the communal dining, explore music you may never have heard before – and end the festival with bagpipes and folk dancing. Baroktoberfest is for both dedicated baroque fans and for you who are simply curious. Together with fantastic guest musicians, we wish to invite you to enriching musical experiences, but there is no need for solemnity. We create a warm and relaxed festival atmosphere with room for immersion, community, food, drink – and plenty of musical enjoyment. Come to one concert, stay the whole evening – or take in the whole of Baroktoberfest.
