Concerto Copenhagen presents “Armonico Tributo” at Carnegie Hall, New York -A tribute to the rich diversity of Baroque music!

On February 25, 2025, Concerto Copenhagen will perform at the iconic Carnegie Hall in New York City. The concert is a tribute to the rich diversity of Baroque music, featuring works by Georg Muffat, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Georg Friedrich Handel.

The program is inspired by Concerto Copenhagen’s critically acclaimed 2022 album Armonico Tributo, which has received widespread international recognition for its interpretation of Georg Muffat’s music. The title is drawn from Muffat’s collection of five sonatas, originally composed to commemorate Salzburg’s 1100th anniversary in 1682. Born in Alsace—a region plagued by wars between powerful nations—Muffat aimed to unite the three central Baroque musical traditions. His music uniquely blends Italian melodiousness, French harmony and elegance, and German structure and counterpoint.

In the foreword to the work, Muffat wrote:
 “The weapons of war and their consequences are far from me. Notes, harmonies, the sounds of music are my paths. And when I combine the French, German, and Italian, it is not to incite war, but out of a desire for harmony among people and a cautious hope for peace.”

Concerto Copenhagen, under the direction of Lars Ulrik Mortensen, will also perform works by two of the Baroque era’s most beloved composers—Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Friedrich Handel—offering a comprehensive presentation of the many facets of European Baroque music.
