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.

    Moment mal! Kinderkonzert über das Vergehen und Bleiben mit dem Minguet Streichquartett

    "Wait a minute! – a children's concert about passing away and staying put"
    with the Minguet String Quartet.

    Experience concert for children aged 5 and up
    Moderation: Music teacher Juliane Giese

    "Why does my birthday always go by so quickly?" Lino wonders. For weeks, time drags on, and then when it finally arrives, the day is over in a flash.

    In this special children's concert, we accompany Lino on a musical journey through moments that come and go: the first snow, a birthday song, the taste of his favorite food, or a sunset. Can a sound be held onto? And why does time sometimes fly and sometimes drag?
    With gentle sounds and vibrant music, we discover together: Some things are only there for a short time – and that's precisely why they are so special.
    A concert to listen to, feel and marvel at – for children and all who want to learn to enjoy the moment.

    Monteverdi: L’Orfeo / Leonardo García Alarcón

    The story of this opera starts with an introduction by La Musica, the music in person: Claudio Monteverdi opens his version of the ancient love story of Orpheus and Eurydice with the prologue: the singer, whose voice could even wake the dead. Conductor Leonardo García Alarcón has this epic work with his Cappella Mediterranea specialised in early music firmly in his repertoire and says: »If life, death, love and music are the driving forces of humanity, L’Orfeo is perhaps the opera which epitomises them best.«

    Mural Walk

    Guided urban art tour through the “Walls Can Dance” open space gallery in Harburg.

    Discover Northern Germany's largest open space gallery for urban art together with the initiators of Walls Can Dance.

    Walls Can Dance wants to build bridges: Hamburg's Harburg district has been facing a major challenge for years: how can the spatial separation of the two central districts “inner city” and “inland port” by a rail and car route be eliminated? With Walls Can Dance, artistic façade designs are being created on both sides of the route, thus symbolically creating a connection. Together with the initiators of Walls Can Dance, the tour follows the artworks from Harburg city center to the inland port. The initiators will provide background information and interesting facts about the individual artworks and artists.
