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.

    Mriya Orchestra: »Verklärte Nacht«

    The Ukrainian orchestra MRIYA (The Dream) is once again performing at the Laeiszhalle Hamburg, its founding venue. Since 2022, it has performed over 120 high-profile concerts in Germany and Europe, including at the Berlin Philharmonic, the Elbphilharmonie, Glocke Bremen, and the Musikverein Vienna. These have included performances with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
    Despite being founded in exile after Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the orchestra quickly established itself as an excellent ensemble specializing in contemporary and Ukrainian music, always acting as a cultural bridge between Germany and Ukraine and in the context of war and exile. This year, the young ensemble’s first album will be released. The title track is Arnold Schoenberg’s »Verklärte Nacht« (Transfigured Night) in the 1917 orchestral version (in the middle of World War I), which he revised in 1943 during World War II while in exile in the United States.

    The concert opens with a musical tribute to Hamburg by Carl Philipp Emanuel. For two decades, Johann Sebastian Bach’s son shaped the cultural life of Hamburg as its music director. From his six Hamburg symphonies, we will hear the Fifth in B minor. The concert will also feature rarely heard, moving works by Ukrainian composers Valentin Silvestrov, Zoltan Almashi, and Anna Kuzina-Rozhdestvenska.
