Liedstadt Hamburg – Opening Concert

• World Music

Songs connect people and tell stories. They provide insights into special moments along lifelines and into every conceivable human relationship. Songs in as many forms as possible are the focus of the new »Liedstadt Hamburg« festival, which starts on 3 October 2024. In the afternoon, a wide variety of Liedstadt artists will be out and about in Hamburg, performing 50 pop-up concerts. The opening concert at NDR's Rolf-Liebermann-Studio will present a selection of the artists on stage and live on NDR Kultur. They combine their songs with their own stories, feelings and experiences. Classical piano songs can be heard alongside Syrian music, contemporary songs and »songs without words«. An evening that tells stories with songs and about songs.
