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.

    JS Bach: Passionstrilogie im Mariendom II

    "Show me your wounds" – Bach touches us. Three Passions by Johann Sebastian Bach will be performed in St. Mary's Cathedral in Hamburg by renowned choirs, ensembles, and soloists. Around 250 students from six schools, after an intensive engagement with the texts, build bridges to our contemporary lives – including through social media – and make the music directly tangible.
