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.

    St. Pauli Nachtmarkt

    Shopping and relaxing have never been so close together! With its late opening times, the St. Pauli night market on Spielbudenplatz has not only adapted to the usual local opening times, but also to the general shopping behavior of our time.

    The St. Pauli night market is no ordinary weekly market. It is right in the heart of the Reeperbahn on Spielbudenplatz and, with its late opening hours (4 p.m. to 11 p.m.), has not only adapted to the usual local opening times, but also to the general shopping behavior of our time. The directly attached beer garden with its live music stage also makes our weekly market an "after work" meeting place and offers residents and visitors an unforgettable shopping and enjoyment experience. The normal local supply of fresh food from the region is excellently combined with a relaxed end to the day.

    Note: During the Reeperbahn Festival or the Santa Pauli Christmas Market, the St. Pauli Night Market moves to the Reeperbahn, at the Boutique Bizarre level.

    This isn't a traditional coaching session, nor a loud event. It's a genuine, intimate gathering for women in the prime of their lives—and eager to rediscover themselves.

    SWR Symphonieorchester / Jean-Frédéric Neuburger / François-Xavier Roth

    Under the baton of its new principal conductor François-Xavier Roth, the SWR Symphonieorchester juxtaposes two revolutionary composers: Ludwig van Beethoven and Helmut Lachenmann. The former was a giant of Viennese classical music, the latter a pioneer of post-war noise music. Both broke musical boundaries with their works and challenged their audience’s listening habits. Although Lachenmann, who turned 90 in November, strikes a very different note from Beethoven, he clearly follows in his footsteps as a rebel and free spirit: »Beethoven was the first composer who deliberately stopped writing music to please the ears!«

    Symphoniker Hamburg / Chamber Concert

    An evening dedicated to the violin: Symphony concertmaster Adrian Iliescu will once again be performing the traditional concertmaster recital this year together with Per Rundberg (piano), presenting a program that showcases the diversity of violin sonatas spanning three centuries. Handel’s violin sonata in D major, composed around 1750, combines Baroque elegance with refined virtuosity. Beethoven lends new depth to the genre in his sonata in G major with chamber music intimacy and symphonic breath. Franck’s famous Sonata in A major is considered the epitome of Romantic passion, full of harmonic colors and emotional depth. The sparkling conclusion to this musical journey through time is Maurice Ravel’s virtuoso »Tzigane«, composed in the first third of the 20th century, which allows the violin to shine in all its brilliance.
