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.

    Straight Ahead Ensemble / Jazz History Ensemble (Ensemble Night)

    Einlass: 18:30 | Beginn: 19:30 |

     

    Straight Ahead Ensemble (Ensemble Night): Im Straight Ahead Ensemble stehen Swing, Bebop und Straight-Ahead-Material im Zentrum, meisterhaft dargelegt von Altmeister Dan Gottshall. Die Arbeit fokussiert das rasche Erfassen funktionsharmonischer Zusammenhänge, das Einprägen aus dem Stehgreif sowie das Spiel ohne Leadsheet, um interpretatorische Freiheit und improvisatorische Souveränität zu vertiefen. Headarrangements werden erarbeitet, Interaktion und „Spontan-Arrangement“ im Ensemblespiel konsequent verinnerlicht. So entsteht eine Klangästhetik, die aus präzisem Formbewusstsein und wacher Gegenwärtigkeit gespeist wird. Jazz History Ensemble (Ensemble Night): Im Zentrum des Konzerts steht die Erarbeitung unterschiedlicher Arrangements und Stücke aus der gesamten Jazzgeschichte, verbunden mit dem Versuch eines stilistischen Vergleichs verschiedener Epochen. Die historische Aufführungspraxis dient dabei als Bezugsrahmen, in den instrumentale Personalstile bewusst eingearbeitet werden. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt Phrasierungsnuancen wie Growl, Jungle Style und variierenden Vibratoformen sowie Intonation und Interaktion innerhalb einer mehrstimmig besetzten Bläsersection. Wenn möglich, fließen zudem Transkriptionen, eigene Kompositionen und Arrangements in die Ensemblearbeit ein. Geleitet wird das Ensemble von Prof. Fiete Felsch.

    Symphoniker Hamburg / Chamber Concert

    The fifth chamber concert of the season in the Small Hall of the Laeiszhalle is entitled »Hamburgensie meets memories of Florence.« A chamber orchestra from the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, conducted by concertmaster Adrian Iliescu, will present a program that spans the musical spectrum from Hamburg to Florence – an evening full of stylistic diversity, lively contrasts, and musical brilliance.
    The concert opens with C. P. E. Bach’s Hamburg Symphony in A major – a work full of expressiveness that exemplifies the heyday of the »Hamburg Bach«. This is followed by J. S. Bach’s Violin Concerto in D minor, a masterpiece of Baroque concert art in which the virtuosity of the solo violin and the clarity of the musical architecture of the orchestral part come together in a unique way. The festive finale is Peter Tchaikovsky’s String Sextet in D minor, entitled »Souvenir de Florence«. In this work, Russian passion and Italian lightness merge into a colorful chamber music piece that rounds off the evening in a melodious way.

    Symphoniker Hamburg / Clara-Jumi Kang / Sylvain Cambreling

    An evening full of musical brilliance, building a bridge between the early 19th and late 20th centuries: Under the baton of Sylvain Cambreling, a concert unfolds that speaks of memory and new beginnings – of music that preserves and transforms at once. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D major is one of the most beloved works in classical music. With its overwhelming beauty, it has captivated audiences for more than 200 years. Clara-Jumi Kang returns to the Symphoniker Hamburg following her acclaimed concert in the 2024/25 season, bringing Beethoven’s masterpiece to life with her incomparable virtuosity.
    Providing a striking contrast is Hans Werner Henze’s »Sinfonia N. 8«, performed by the Symphoniker in honor of Henze’s 100th birthday. Inspired by Shakespeare’s »A Midsummer Night’s Dream«, the work blends classical tradition with shimmering modern colors – music that makes the past tangible while pointing toward the future. A concert that brings history to life and draws the audience into an overwhelming world of sound.

    System Error: Human? Annual Exhibition of the Professional Association of Visual Artists Hamburg

    Every human being is a complex set of routines, beliefs and attempts at establishing order. Defects, disruptions and irritations are often viewed as threats – but perhaps this is actually where our true potential lies. It is precisely when something tilts or contradicts itself that spaces emerge for new perceptions.

    For this year’s members exhibition of the Professional Association of Visual Artists Hamburg, a jury of five experts selected thirty artistic positions from 145 submissions. System Error: Human? compiles works that explore the fragile, the unfinished and the contradictory. Between analogue material and the digital code, between earth, fabric, metal and pixels, they negotiate questions of control, loss and new beginnings. They display breaks as transitions, cracks as openings, irritations as starting points for new forms of coexistence. The exhibition thus becomes a polyphonic plea for the productive power of the error – and for art as a field where orientation is continually being re-created.

    Jury: Anja Giese, Barbara Maahs, Sibylle Mayr, Maryam Naderi, Avid Saeed

    Participating artists: Sevil Amini, Christian M. Beier, Sarah Bender-Kronberg, Matthias Berthold, Wolfgang Block, Roland Doil, Christa Donatius, Frieder Falk, Satenik Ghulijanyan, Şakir Gökçebağ, Frauke Hänke & Claus Kienle, Friederike Höppner, Katharina Holstein-Sturm, Ute Klapschuweit, Thomas Klockmann, Agatha Kosobucki, Kristina Küster-Witt, Max Messemer, Per Pegelow, Jens Rausch, Florian Reckert, Lena Schmidt, Janine Seelen, Shahram Shahmiri, Kuo Tian, Jenni Tietze, Annika Unterburg, Sebastian Unterrainer, Frederick Vidal, Andrea Ziegler
