MISSA - Frühingskonzert des Landesjugendchors Hamburg in St. Johannis Eppendorf

With its spring concert "Missa," the Hamburg State Youth Choir presents an extraordinary choral program: The concert unites all the elements of the Mass – Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei – in settings from the Renaissance, Romantic, and modern periods. Instead of a single, unified Mass, the program offers a captivating panorama of works by diverse composers: from the clear polyphony of Palestrina to the Romantic expressiveness of Mendelssohn, Rheinberger, and Brahms, and on to the impressive soundscapes of contemporary composers like Rautavaara, Lauridsen, and Buchenberg. The result is a multifaceted Mass of our time – solemn, rich in contrasts, and deeply moving. Different musical languages merge into a cohesive whole, making the timeless message of the Mass accessible anew across eras. This polyphonic dramaturgy makes "Missa" a truly special concert experience.

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.

MUSKETEER

No stranger to a bustling street corner nor a grand stage, Musketeer has spent the better part of the last decade honing his storytelling skills and songwriting craft in some of Europe’s most beautiful cities.

Wind, hail or shine, this hardened Australian folk troubadour has blazed through it all with steadfast fervour, howling his way onto the stage, often consumed in some sort of biblical rapture.

He has supported acts from across the globe, including Canada’s ‘Half Moon Run’, Australia’s ‘Dustin Tebbutt’, 'Tash Sultana', Nashville based a’cappella stars ‘Home Free’ and twin brothers, ‘Amistat.’

In 2022, Musketeer undertook his most ambitious journey to date. A road trip from Oslo to Istanbul. The troubadour traveled across Europe with 7 other artists and played concerts, festivals and busked across 15 different countries.

In 2023 Musketeer began to release his most ambitious studio record thus far, a debut LP titled ‘Glorious Light.’ Working together again with his band from his home base of Hamburg, Germany, Musketeer produced the record with fellow Australian Singer-Songwriter Lucas Laufen in the annex of the Famous Gold Watch Studios in Berlin. The album explores themes of war and hope, explores Christianity, touches upon Roman and Germanic Mythology and steals lines from Dante, Dylan and Hemingway.

‘Glorious Light’ (2025) follows Musketeer’s previous two studio EP’s, ‘The North Sea’ (2021) and ‘Seven Long Years.’ (2017)

In 2026 Musketeer begins a new chapter, releasing a haunting acoustic version of his song, Empty Churches. Leaning back into a DIY approach with help from his network of musicians around the world, he aims to return to the roots of why he became a singer-songwriter in the first place. Empty Churches was recorded at home with UK folk-blues musician, Jon Kenzie.

Nachtflohmarkt in der Gleishalle

During the winter months, the Oberhafen train depot transforms into a vibrant flea market and street food festival once or twice a month. Numerous stalls in the spacious industrial hall invite visitors to browse for vintage fashion, design pieces, second-hand classics, curiosities, and lovingly selected unique items – perfect for extended treasure hunts off the beaten path.

A unique evening atmosphere is created amidst the brickwork, steel girders, and railway tracks, clearly distinguishing the night flea market from the traditional daytime flea market. The twinkling lights, music, and the urban setting of the Oberhafen (Upper Harbor) transform a visit into an experience focused on discovery, encounters, and lingering.

The night flea market also has plenty to offer in terms of food: In the street food area, various stalls serve international delicacies from all over the world. Whether savory or sweet, hot or freshly prepared – here you can combine your visit to the flea market with a delightful break.

The night flea market in the Oberhafen train shed is therefore not just a place to shop, but a meeting place for everyone who fancies special finds, good food and a relaxed evening event in an extraordinary location.
