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.

    The home of the Poetry Slam in Hamburg.

    Inspiring Japan

    With its new presentation of the East Asia Collection, the MK&G is celebrating the unbroken inspirational power of Japanese design. Now on display for the first time are paintings from the Edo period (1615–1868), Buddhist calligraphy and colour woodblock prints from the private collection of Walter Gebhard, acquired by the museum in 2021. The exhibition unfolds over two storeys: In the first part, the pictures enter into a dialogue with ceramics, lacquerware, bamboo baskets, metalwork and sword ornaments from the existing collection.

    Isemarkt

    With a length of almost one kilometer, the Isemarkt is a particularly large weekly market. Around 200 exhibitors sell their goods here twice a week in picturesque surroundings and a nice atmosphere. The Isemarkt between the underground stations Hoheluftbrücke and Eppendorfer Baum is now a part of Hamburg that is hard to imagine without.

    Iveta Apkalna, Organ

    Almost nine years ago to the day, the Elbphilharmonie organ was heard for the first time in a solo concert. Since then, titular organist Iveta Apkalna, who was of course at the console at the time, has been presenting more and more organ repertoire with exciting programmes – this time including minimal music by Philip Glass and music by organ favourites Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt and Pēteris Vasks.

    Jean Rondeau, Harpsichord

    Jean Rondeau, the shooting star of the harpsichord, returns to the Elbphilharmonie with his latest project. In a marathon concert consisting of three one-hour blocks and two intermissions, he plays exclusively works by Louis Couperin, who has accompanied him since childhood: »He made the instrument sing like no one before him – and perhaps no one since.«
