Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Liniker

Brazilian singer-songwriter Liniker has always been crazy about art. Growing up in Araraquara, a small town just under 270 km from São Paulo, she regularly accompanied her mother and uncle to samba-rock sessions as a child. This was followed by theatre studies in Santo André – an experience that would play an important role in the development of her artistic identity. Liniker first gained recognition in 2015 with the release of the EP »Cru«, which was published online under the name Liniker e os Caramelows.

Lurup Feiert 2026

Lurup Feiert, one of the vibrant, community-spirited neighborhood festivals in Hamburg-Altona, is happening on Saturday, June 27th this years! As always, there is plenty to see, hear, and do—so bring your free time, appetite, and friends!

Musically, this year’s journey ranges from thoughtful Alternative Country and upbeat antifa pop tunes to SWANA- Funk, featuring bands such as Ride Lonesome, Wir Nicht, and Spine of the Sahara. The culinary offerings once againspan the entire globe, as all of Lurup is serving up treats! Physical activity is provided by sporty games, a glittering bouncy castle, and engaging activities for young and old alike. To help everyone cool off, the Volunteer Fire Department will be on-site with their large fire truck—and there will be plenty of other ways to quench your thirst, too.

Local initiatives, clubs, and community groups show what they're up to through activities such as screen printing, an Oshibana workshop, soccer darts or bracelet crafting. Kids can get their faces painted or adorned with glitter tattoos, and every visitor has a chance to win a prize in the Grand Tombola!

The neighborhood festival takes place from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM on the large, accessible grounds at Flurstraße 15. We encourage you to take advantage of the venue's excellent accessibility via bus lines 2 and 3 (stopping at Eckhofplatz or Flurstraße Nord).

Magdalena Kožená / Martha Argerich / Adrian Iliescu / Mauricio Vallina u.a.

An evening of exceptional intensity and pure expressiveness: at the Martha Argerich Festival Hamburg, art song and chamber music come together in the Small Hall of the Laeiszhalle.

The evening opens with a fireworks display of pianistic brilliance: Mauricio Vallina performs Johann Sebastian Bach’s soaring »Air« in Alexander Siloti’s arrangement, as well as Johannes Brahms’s poetic »Album Leaf« and his sparkling »Paganini Variations.« With Maurice Ravel’s Violin Sonata No. 2, Adrian Iliescu and Szymon Nehring engage in a fascinating dialogue between clarity, rhythm, and jazz-like echoes, before Eugène Ysaÿe’s Solo Sonata No. 5 unfolds its full expressive depth in the hands of Yuzuko Horigome.

After the intermission, a highlight of the art of the song: Robert Schumann’s »Dichterliebe« with mezzo-soprano star Magdalena Kožená and Martha Argerich—a touching interplay of voice and piano that goes straight to the heart.

A concert evening for discerning ears and profound emotions.

Martha Argerich / Maxim Vengerov / Lilya Zilberstein

An evening filled with Beethoven and highlights: As part of the Martha Argerich Festival, an extraordinary ensemble of artists will gather at the Laeiszhalle for a celebration of chamber music.
The program opens with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Quintet in E-flat Major—a sparkling dialogue between piano and winds, performed by Lilya Zilberstein and members of the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra.
After the intermission, Beethoven’s lyrical side unfolds: Together with Maxim Vengerov, Argerich brings the famous »Spring Sonata« and the cheerfully radiant A Major Sonata to life in brilliant colors.
Virtuosity, depth, and musical highlights—an evening that celebrates not only Beethoven in all his facets.

Due to Mikhail Pletnev’s withdrawal from the »Flügelschlag« concert on 25 June, also part of the Martha Argerich Festival, there will be changes to the line-up and programme for the first half of this concert. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Great Fugue with Martha Argerich and Stephen Kovacevich has been omitted from this concert; instead, Lilya Zilberstein, among others, will perform a selection from Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Préludes, Op. 32. Tickets already purchased remain valid.
