Twilight - Purcell and his Fairy Queen

Musicians: Arte dei Suonatori Baroque Orchestra; Andreas Arend, lute; and the Fredensborg Palace Chapel Girls' Choir, conducted by Cille Buch

Music by Henry Purcell (1659-1695)

To experience the sound of forty young female voices rising toward the vaults of Trinitatis Church is as magical as watching the sun begin its evening descent. The sky becomes filled with a multitude of colours, and slowly everything moves toward twilight. The quiet magic of the night takes over, spreading throughout the space as the music ascends heavenward, colouring the air as if it were the sunset itself.

The choir's conductor and artistic director, Cille Buch, together with the singers, creates an atmospheric musical world through her strong musicianship, opening the door to the beauty and essence of music. Twilight is an evocative concert in which Purcell's beautiful musical universe envelops the audience. Through the choir's and orchestra's rich sound and deep musical expression, twilight and night are imbued with their own magical power.
