Copenhagen Baroque Festival: Traveling Tales

Embark on a musical journey from the British Isles to Lolland as Poul and Silene Høxbro perform Celtic melodies from the 1799 music manuscript Reventlow’s Notebook, accompanied by readings (in Danish).

When we listen to music, we often imagine images and stories in our minds. But how do we listen, what catches our ear, and how do we uncover the stories? With this year’s theme, “Musical Stories,” the festival invites you to unleash your imagination and allows the audience to create their own fantastic tales along the way.

This evening, the musicians will take us on a voyage around the North Sea, where you can hear distant Scottish melodies, Nordic folk tunes, and familiar strains from Denmark. Experience how music effortlessly travels through time, continuously captivating us, generation after generation, in ever-new interpretations.

During the concert, you will also hear various travel descriptions.

Please Note: The narration will be in Danish by Poul Høxbro. Ellen Hillingsø unfortunately has cancelled her appearance tonight.

Participants: Poul Høxbro (low whistle) and Silene Høxbro (steel-string guitar)
