Familienführung - Der Hafen für Kinder

Why are the merchants' houses built in the water? What is stored in the warehouses of the Speicherstadt? What is an English toilet, and how does the huge ship get into dry dock?

We answer these and many other questions about the port on our varied city tour, starting at the historic Deichstraße and ending at the Landungsbrücken piers on the Elbe River. Along the way, we'll see the Speicherstadt warehouse district, HafenCity, and the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, and visit the Old Elbe Tunnel. We'll illustrate the diverse world of the port with pictures, spices, and stories.

A guided city tour including a short ferry ride for children (6-12 years) accompanied by an adult (HVV ticket required).

Farah Kaddour solo & Tilt Trio

In Arabic music, the long-necked lute known as the buzuq has long stood in the shadow of the oud. Beirut-based musician Farah Kaddour explores the instrument’s significance in the music of the Levant – the Arabic-speaking countries of the eastern Mediterranean. Featuring a variety of ensembles and musical settings, this richly diverse evening forms part of the Elbphilharmonie’s Lebanon spotlight.




As a researcher, composer and stage musician, Farah Kaddour explores every facet of the buzuq’s history in the Levant. Her work spans folk traditions, classical Arabic music, new forms of improvisation and experimental rock. On her current solo album »Bada«, she presents the instrument in all its many dimensions. Sometimes she performs alone, at other times with her trio TILT, where the sound of the buzuq is joined by percussion and the distinctive quarter-tone colouring of the Arabic accordion.

Many people associate the word buzuq with the Greek bouzouki, which is closely related to the Levantine instrument. From the vast family of long-necked lutes, whose history stretches back thousands of years, a pear-shaped, four-string version of the buzuq eventually emerged in Syria and Lebanon. In the 20th century, the instrument made the leap from the sphere of travelling musicians into professional performance practice and after the Second World War it took on an important role in the orchestras accompanying the modern Arabic song tradition.

Federico Colli / Piano Recital

»Federico Colli is careful to seduce his listeners before completely captivating them«, writes »The Times« about the Italian pianist, who opens the »Pianomania« series. Alongside piano sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti, Colli performs Mozart’s much-loved sonata featuring the famous »Rondo alla turca«.



In recognition of his outstanding musical achievements, Colli was recently appointed a Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic. The pianist is deeply passionate about the music of his homeland. Of Scarlatti, he says: »Scarlatti is a composer very close to my heart, not only because he is Italian, but because, for me, he embodies the ideal of a great master.«

With two acclaimed albums devoted to Scarlatti, Colli is the ideal choice to open »Pianomania« with a concert placing the composer’s sonatas centre stage. His exceptional expressive power and sparkling energy in Mozart are evident on two further albums, as well as in his victory at the International Mozart Competition in Salzburg. Of the composer, Colli says: »Mozart is undoubtedly a great friend of mine.«

FEIERN!

The dance project FEIERN! is aimed at young people aged between 14 and 18, with or without dance experience, and with or without disabilities. In weekly rehearsals, the young people practise, improvise and choreograph under the guidance of dance practitioners Fernanda Ortiz, Sarah Lasaki and Teresa L. Rosenkrantz, developing a dance piece that will be performed in June 2027.

The weekly sessions are open to all – whether you’re just having a go, trying it out or hoping to end up on stage – everyone is welcome. On the theme of FEIERN!, we explore: What does a proper party look like and what does it need? What role does dance play in celebrating? What physical and emotional states does celebrating bring about? Is it possible to celebrate alone? How many people can celebrate together? Where do people celebrate? Can you celebrate together in different places? What are reasons to celebrate? Participants will experience how movement sequences are developed from their own movements and how these form a choreography.

Sounds good, doesn’t it? Then come along! If you’re creative and fancy joining our diverse, inclusive and open community, come and join us!
No prior knowledge required | Participation is free of charge | Open to all young people aged 14 and over | If you are interested, please contact tanzplan@kampnagel.de 

every Wednesday except during Hamburg school holidays

Ferdinand von Schirach

With his new program »The Silent Friend«, Ferdinand von Schirach returns to the stage: it tells of human triumphs and failures – of friendship, hope, the Greek Stoics, and death. The program will take on a unique form of its own, inspired by the book of the same name. However, it will only be experienced on stage in this way.

Please note that the event will be held in German.

Der Spiegel called Ferdinand von Schirach a »brilliant storyteller«, The New York Times described him as an »exceptional stylist«, The Independent compared him to Kafka and Kleist, The Financial Times to Raymond Carver, and The Daily Telegraph wrote that he is »one of the most distinctive voices in European literature«. His books have been adapted into films multiple times and have become international bestsellers, selling millions of copies. They have been published in over forty countries. His plays »Terror« and »God« are among the most successful and widely discussed contemporary dramas worldwide.
