________________________

Copenhageners enjoyed a top-of-the-line, international-class Messiah for yet another year with the baroque specialists of UK’s Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. This time around, they will be joined by world star Mark Padmore on their trip across the North Sea to the Church of Holmen. The renowned tenor launched his music career as a choir singer at King’s College in Cambridge and has since gained recognition as a soloist in Bach’s oratorios and passions on the biggest scenes worldwide. It will be for the first time that a Danish audience can hear this lyrical tenor sing his core repertoire.
