Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Luises Schatztruhe

A musical theatre piece with songs and texts about and by the composer Luise Greger – narrated and conceived by her great-great-granddaughter Susanne Heitkamp and performed by students of the HfMT (for the whole family, recommended for children aged 5-10).

About the Feminale:

At the Feminale, female composers are celebrated, and their music finally gets the stage it deserves! Because female composers do exist and always have – they've simply been erased from music history. That's why this April we're dedicating a festival to them at the University of Music and Theatre, a festival that focuses entirely on them. Come along and discover your new favorite pieces!

The concert is free, but registration via eventbrite is required.

Lydie Auvray Trio

After their first guest appearance at the Elphi in 2019, now it’s time for their last: a »best of« that no one should miss. On their farewell tour with this line-up, the Hamburg audience can once again witness Lydie Auvray’s impressive versatility – from swinging musette and fiery tangos to her very own chansons; from world music and jazzy sounds to the film music-like works of the fantastic trio, which trigger a veritable rush of images in the mind, soulful and dense.
Many of these pieces have long since achieved cult status among her fans. »On this final tour with our trio, I want to play my favourite pieces, those of my musicians and the audience, from all my creative phases. It’s like a musical glimpse into and at my whole life.« Lydie Auvray is accompanied by her long-time accomplices and companions, the outstanding musicians Markus Tiedemann and Eckes Malz.

PERFORMERS

Lydie Auvray Trio trio

Lydie Auvray accordion and singing

Eckes Malz piano and percussion

Markus Tiedemann guitars, ukulele, bouzouki and bass

Madama Butterfly

Nagasaki, Japan, ca. 1900: Pinkerton, a lieutenant in the American navy, has fallen in love with Cio-Cio-San, also known as “Butterfly”. The Japanese ritual marriage ceremony is merely a farce to him – and shortly thereafter, Pinkerton’s “plaything” is alone again, with their child. Three years later, he returns to Japan, but not because of Butterfly...

Magdalena Kožená / Song Recital

For more than two decades, Magdalena Kožená has delighted a global audience as one of the world’s leading voices. The New York Times once described her unique presence as: »Vocally elegant, emotionally direct and stylistically aware.« In the private ambience of the Recital Hall, this versatile singing performer, accompanied solely by Daniele Caminiti’s sensitive lute-playing, presents a programme with baroque classics, such as Purcell’s world-famous lament »When I Am Laid in Earth« and arias by the composer and prima donna Barbara Strozzi.

Please note: Daniele Caminiti was originally supposed to accompany Magdalena Kožená on the lute at this concert. Unfortunately, Caminiti had to cancel his participation due to a hand injury. Theorbo player Azul Lima will step in for him. The programme remains unchanged.

Mindfulness and Breathwork exercises to reduce stress and connect more with yourself and others.

Hello Hamburg, we are Rena & Uta, two residents of Niendorf, and with Reconnect Souls we have created a format that makes it possible to reconnect here locally: Soul Evenings – once a month in Hamburg-Niendorf.

We often see that people live side by side, yet at the same time many actually want more genuine connection here in Niendorf and the surrounding area. That is exactly why we are opening this space – for community and connection.

Soul Evenings are evenings for unwinding, letting go, and connecting—getting out of your head and back into your body and heart. With elements of breathwork, bodywork, mindfulness, and many other tools and elements that we have learned on our own journey. This takes place in a safe setting in a small group.

If you feel like taking time for yourself on a regular basis and getting to know nice people from the area, feel free to visit our website for more information or send us a message here or via email/WhatsApp.
