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.

    Isemarkt

    With a length of almost one kilometer, the Isemarkt is a particularly large weekly market. Around 200 exhibitors sell their goods here twice a week in picturesque surroundings and a nice atmosphere. The Isemarkt between the underground stations Hoheluftbrücke and Eppendorfer Baum is now a part of Hamburg that is hard to imagine without.

    Jonathan Tetelman / Enigma Classica / Anna Handler

    »This voice belongs to the future,« was recently written about star tenor Jonathan Tetelman in the Salzburger Nachrichten. »Absolutely stunning, this man«, agreed the Hamburger Abendblatt after his Elbphilharmonie concert in July 2025. The singer who captures the hearts of audiences and critics around the globe now returns to the Hanseatic city with a Bel Canto evening:

    Italian longing, German intimacy, French passion – with opera hits and international love songs by Bizet, Wagner, Tosti, Cilea, Cardillo, Leoncavallo, and others, Tetelman aims to enchant his Hamburg audience once again.

    Following her great success with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, the young German-Colombian conductor Anna Handler now makes her Elbphilharmonie debut at the podium of the Enigma Classica ensemble – and at the piano. Alongside Tetelman’s beguiling vocals, Handler brings other symphonic delights by Mozart, Haydn, Mascagni and Tschaikowsky – an evening between song and sound.

    PERFORMERS

    Jonathan Tetelman tenor

    Enigma Classica orchestra

    Anna Handler conductor

    PROGRAM

    Arias and songs by Bizet, Wagner, Tosti, De Curtis, Leoncavallo and others, as well as orchestral works by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Haydn, Mascagni and others

    Kebu - Synthesizing

    Kebu is a Finnish composer and artist known for his melodic, instrumental electronic music inspired by the legendary sounds of the '70s and '80s. His music is characterized by his masterful command of analog synthesizers and his captivating live performances—qualities that have earned him more than 100 million views on YouTube and a loyal fan base around the world.

    With over 100 concerts in 15 countries, Kebu has established himself as one of Europe's most exciting live synth performers. His shows radiate warmth and joy, showcasing a spectacular array of analog synthesizers that hark back to the golden era of electronic music. It's no coincidence that Kebu was named Best International Artist at the Schallwelle Music Awards in 2017, 2021, and 2024.

    In spring 2026, Kebu will release his long-awaited new album, "Urban Skies," the follow-up to his acclaimed "Urban Dreams." Like its predecessor, this album is created entirely with analog synthesizers and drum machines, staying true to Kebu's unique tradition of bringing classic hardware to life. To celebrate, he's embarking on a new European tour, performing both new and old hits, as well as some carefully selected cover versions. Audiences can once again look forward to an unforgettable night of music powered by an all-analog synthesizer rig.
