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.

    Nils 70 – A Birthday Celebration

    The Swedish trombonist, composer, producer and singer is one of Europe’s most successful, prolific and, above all, popular jazz musicians. Whether with his Funk Unit or his trio, as a musician or leader of various big bands, or on his annual »Christmas with my friends« tour, the man with the red trombone has had a decisive influence on contemporary European jazz! On the occasion of his 70th birthday, Nils Landgren is now fulfilling a lifelong dream: he is organising concert evenings with a symphony orchestra!

    Anlässlich seines 70. Geburtstags im Jahr 2026 feiert Nils Landgren diesen besonderen Meilenstein mit einer Reihe ausgewählter Konzerte in der JazzHall. Am 16. Februar lädt der schwedische Ausnahmeposaunist zu einem hochkarätig besetzten Quartettabend ein, der musikalische Tiefe, Virtuosität und jahrzehntelange Bühnenerfahrung vereint. Nils Landgren gilt als eine der prägenden Persönlichkeiten des europäischen Jazz. Mit seinem unverwechselbaren Ton, großer stilistischer Offenheit und charismatischer Bühnenpräsenz hat er Generationen von Musiker:innen und Zuhörer:innen begeistert – ob im Jazz, Funk, Soul oder Pop. An seiner Seite spielt Joel Lyssardies am Piano, ein sensibler und zugleich kraftvoller Gestalter, der mit klarem Klang und feinem Gespür für Interaktion überzeugt. Lars Danielsson, einer der renommiertesten europäischen Bassisten, steht für lyrische Linien, harmonische Tiefe und kompositorische Eleganz. Komplettiert wird das Quartett von Robert Ikiz am Schlagzeug, dessen energiegeladenes und zugleich nuanciertes Spiel Groove, Dynamik und klangliche Vielfalt vereint. Gemeinsam verspricht diese außergewöhnliche Besetzung einen Konzertabend voller musikalischer Dialoge, emotionaler Intensität und meisterhafter Jazzkunst.

    A theatrical dance on the bridge

    Tinte and Oppo Highfly meet on a very narrow bridge. Both are pushing and shoving, neither gives way, everyone holds their breath. A good solution must be found quickly, otherwise both will slowly plunge into the abyss. Wrestling, singing, dancing, deceiving – cheating, flattering, and being brave: How can they manage this balancing act?

    Norddeutsches Zupforchester / NZO YOUNGSTERS-Teens

    In view of the numerous global crises, which are often associated with challenging communication, a small parallel world in which international networking takes place offers a welcome contrast. The contact and exchange with musicians from all continents gives the Norddeutsches ZupfOrchester the opportunity to travel the world musically this year.



    Richard Charlton will whiskthe audience away to the Brisbane River, Claudio Mandonico will tell stories that combine Irish and Italian myths, Aris Alexandros Blettenberg will conjure up the most beautiful Greek islands before our inner eye and Dominik Hackner will have us swaying to South American rhythms.

    For the first time, the Youngsters-Teens will not only present their successful rehearsal work with their own performance at the concert, but some of these young people will also be making music in the NZO itself.



    The more than 30 amateur musicians of the Norddeutsches ZupfOrchester from all generations meet weekly to work on varied concert programmes. The orchestra delights its many fans at its concerts several times a year and has made a name for itself beyond the borders of Hamburg for over 60 years for its captivating music-making on plucked instruments (mandolin, mandola, guitar and bass).





    The association’s extensive youth work under the direction of Steffen Trekel has now resulted in a children’s and a youth orchestra.

    Nova Consonanza

    The Nova Consonanza ensemble brings together former musicians from Hamburg’s major orchestras, long-standing friendships – from experienced professionals to ambitious students. Since its foundation in 2017, the orchestra has been playing for a good cause. This concert supports the work of the UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning.
    Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are unable to learn due to poverty or crises. 739 million young people and adults can neither read nor write. The UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning, based in Hamburg, provides them with education – and thus a perspective. The proceeds from this concert will go directly to projects in war and crisis zones such as Ukraine, Chad, Bangladesh and other regions – where they are most urgently needed.

    Only the Illusion Counts

    In this special magic show, everything revolves around the subtle art of deception. With wit, charm, and precise performance, Wittus Witt, Germany's renowned magician leads his audience to the boundary between reality and illusion. He reveals nothing—yet everything seems obvious. An evening that proves: truth is a matter of perspective. What counts is what becomes visible in the illusion.

    The Zauber-Salon is located inside the Bellachini Museum, Germany’s only cultural history museum dedicated to the art of magic. Evening guests are welcome to visit the museum from 7:15 p.m. at no extra charge.
