Poetry Slam

Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    The Art of Music Education

    Since 2008, the Elbphilharmonie and the Körber Foundation have been inviting movers and shakers from the international concert hall scene every two years to discuss the future of music education. »The Art of Music Education« (TAOME) addresses questions that cultural institutions are facing today. For example: How can concert culture in Europe be kept alive, diverse and attractive to a changing audience? What promises do cultural institutions make to people – and can these promises be fulfilled? Which social developments can be accommodated and which can be contrasted? And what role will concert halls, opera houses, music festivals and music ensembles play in the future? In this tenth edition of TAOME, guests from all over Europe will gather to discuss the topic »Out of Control – (Shared) Responsibility«.

    This tenth edition of TAOME focuses on three interrelated topics. An assessment of music education in 2026 examines its position in the concert industry, its resources, modes of operation and developments since the first conference. Under the guiding principle »Out of Control – (Shared) Responsibility«, what it means to share responsibility, authorship and creative power, and what opportunities and limitations participatory cultural work entails will be discussed. Impulses from practice and research, including awareness and anti-discrimination concepts in event management, open our eyes to new forms of coexistence. At the same time, we look to the future: what social upheavals will shape music education in the future? How are the roles of artists changing and in what new contexts can concert experiences arise?

    The Best of Ennio Morricone

    Ennio Morricone received his last Oscar in February 2016 for Quentin Tarantino’s »The Hateful Eight«. Morricone made himself immortal almost 50 years ago with his music for »Once Upon a Time in the West«. His compositions for the Italo-Western classic »The Good, the Bad and the Ugly«, Roland Joffé’s drama »The Mission« and Giuseppe Tornatore’s film »Cinema Paradiso« became particularly well known.
    His fans can experience Morricone’s unforgettable works live in selected cities. Star guest Marc Breitfelder is one of the best harmonica players in the world. The large ensemble of soloists, orchestra and choir of the Milano Festival Opera will also be on stage to bring Morricone’s captivating music to life. The technically sophisticated screen animation with the original film scenes intensifies the gripping atmosphere and creates the famous goosebump effect that nobody can resist.

    ToBeN came together after decades of professional work in a wide variety of projects. Their chance encounter and their shared ability to compose have given rise to a unique, powerful band that uses rock with a healthy dose of soul and blues as the foundation of its songs.

    A particular highlight in the band's lineup is the reunion of Wolfgang Jensen and Jürgen Leydel, who played together in the Hamburg-based German rock band Clowns & Helden in the 1980s. Clowns & Helden was active between 1985 and 1989 and is best known today for their number one hit "Ich liebe Dich" (I Love You).

    ToBeN has quickly established itself as a powerful and independent band, captivating audiences with its musical experience and passionate performances. Their music blends rock, soul, and blues into a unique sound that enthralls listeners. The chance reunion and shared musical chemistry between Wolfgang and Jürgen lend the band a special dynamism and depth.

    Band members:

    Vocals: Wolfgang Jensen (formerly Clowns & Helden)
    Guitar: Jürgen Leydel (formerly Clowns & Helden)
    Guitar: Peter Florek
    Bass: Thomas Haupt
    Drums: Michael Klipker
