The Danish national baroque orchestra Concerto Copenhagen is one of the leading baroque orchestras in the world.

Concerto Copenhagen has released recordings on CPO, Deutsche Grammophon and BIS, as well as DVD productions on Harmonia Mundi and Decca.

The orchestra has toured USA, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, Australia and China.

Lars Ulrik Mortensen (born 1955) has been artistic director of the orchestra since 1999.

Mortensen studied with Karen Englund (harpsichord) and Jesper Bøje Christensen (figured bass) at The Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen and with Trevor Pinnock in London.

As a soloist and chamber musician, Mortensen has toured all over Europe, USA, Mexico, South America, Australia, China and Japan.
