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.

    When music tells stories, it turns into a special concert morning. With its autumn matinee, the Symphonic Wind Orchestra Norderstedt invites you to dive into fantastic soundscapes – including the rousing film music from »How to Train Your Dragon« by John Powell, one of the most beloved animated adventures of recent years.

    The story of young Viking Hiccup and his dragon Toothless captivates both young and older audiences alike. With the new live-action adaptation released in cinemas this year, it’s once again in the spotlight — and its music continues to fascinate with its emotional power.

    A very different sound awaits the audience with Percy Grainger’s »Lincolnshire Posy«. This classic of wind band literature is based on traditional English folk songs that Grainger collected from oral sources in the early 20th century. In six musical miniatures, it paints a varied portrait of rural tales – sometimes cheerful, sometimes calm, sometimes spirited. Other highlights in the program include Joe Hisaishi’s »Howl’s Moving Castle«, Thomas Bergersen’s »Flight of the Silverbird«, and Edward Gregson’s »Festivo«.

    Tarta Relena

    Have age-old music traditions become outdated and fallen out of time? Catalan vocal duo Tarta Relena proves the opposite: originating from their Spanish homeland, the two young women trawl the entire Mediterranean region from Southern France to Italy and North Africa for songs to which they give synthesiser sounds and beats for their different and yet intertwined voices with incredible creativity. This mix generates enthusiasm worldwide whether at big festivals or at the legendary »NPR Tiny Desk Concert«.

    Hana Chang studies at the prestigious Kronberg Academy under star violinist Christian Tetzlaff and is well on her way to becoming a star herself. The violinist, born in the USA, has already given concerts worldwide and won major awards, as most recently in the Queen Elisabeth Competition. Hana Chang brings a sonata by Mozart to the Laeiszhalle, which the composer once wrote for a similarly young, prominent virtuoso. After a fairy-tale, dreamy piece by Tōru Takemitsu, there follows Brahms’ popular third and final violin sonata in closing.
