Since its first concerts in 1991, Concerto Copenhagen (CoCo) has developed into Scandinavia’s leading orchestra in Early Music—Baroque, Classical and Early Romantic. With artistic director, conductor, and harpsichordist, Lars Ulrik Mortensen, at the helm, CoCo has become synonymous with a special, methodological approach to working with historical material. CoCo unites artistic authenticity and innovation—through original and uncompromising interpretations, the music is given new life and renewed relevance to a modern audience.

Since 1999, the collaboration between CoCo and Lars Ulrik Mortensen has led to an exciting artistic and musical journey—appreciated and praised by audiences and critics around the world. With a unique repertoire that combines well-known European music with lesser-known works of Scandinavian origin as well as new music, CoCo marks its 30th anniversary in 2021.
