Khatia Buniatishvili & Friends

To conclude her ProArte residency in the 2025/26 season, star pianist Khatia Buniatishvili invites you to a very special concert experience at the Elbphilharmonie: together with artistic friends and companions, she takes her audience on a journey to her adopted home of Paris. In a dazzling array of dance, song, recitation and pianistic virtuosity, she explores the rich soundscape of the »City of Light« and once again captivates her audience with a deeply personal programme. Accompanying her on this journey are television stars Barbara Schöneberger and Sebastian Koch, ballet dancer Hugo Marchand and mezzo-soprano Axelle Saint-Cirel, whose name has been on everyone’s lips since her brilliant performance at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Bon voyage!

Kimono Club Hamburg Talk: Kimono for Beginners, A to Z – from Asanoha to Zori

A warm welcome to everyone who discovered us at Japan Day 2026 and has joined us since! Anyone else with an interest in kimono is very welcome, too!

In this introductory talk, Luise Helmecke, founder of Kimono Club Hamburg, will guide you through the individual elements of a kimono outfit. You’ll gain a basic understanding of how everything fits together, learn the key terms, and be better prepared to identify and shop for kimono items yourself.

After the talk, we’ll gather for a relaxed cup of tea, with the chance to try on kimono or yukata together.

Doors open at around 5:45 p.m., and the talk will begin shortly after 6:00 p.m.

Admission is free; donations are welcome.

Landesverband norddeutscher Liebhaberorchester / Dorothee Bienert / Wolf Tobias Müller

Following the huge success of the performance of Gustav Mahler’s Second Symphony to mark the 100th anniversary of the German Association of Amateur Orchestras (BDLO) in 2024, the BDLO’s Northern Regional Association – Federal Association of Amateur Symphony and Chamber Orchestras – is now returning with another monumental work: Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 3.


For this extraordinary project, the best musicians from 110 member orchestras of the BDLO North are coming together to form a large ensemble. Together with alto soloists, a women’s choir, and a boys’ choir, they will create an impressive musical experience that unfolds the powerful sound world of this symphonic vision.

With a performance time of around 95 minutes, Mahler’s Third is his longest symphony – composed during his years as Kapellmeister in Hamburg (1891–1897). The performance is being produced in cooperation with the Gustav Mahler Association Hamburg.
