Atlas CPH performs and premieres some of the most demanding works for woodwind quintet. They also often venture into new interpretations of modern classics and new interpretations of masterworks for orchestra.
For example, the fascinating “Whirl’s World” by Per Nørgård, “Le sacre du printemps” by Stravinsky and Harbison’s Wind Quintet are part of Atlas CPH’s core repertoire.
In 2024 Atlas CPH has commissioned new works by Peter Bruun.
