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.

    Symphoniker Hamburg / Chamber Concert

    An evening dedicated to the violin: Symphony concertmaster Adrian Iliescu will once again be performing the traditional concertmaster recital this year together with Per Rundberg (piano), presenting a program that showcases the diversity of violin sonatas spanning three centuries. Handel’s violin sonata in D major, composed around 1750, combines Baroque elegance with refined virtuosity. Beethoven lends new depth to the genre in his sonata in G major with chamber music intimacy and symphonic breath. Franck’s famous Sonata in A major is considered the epitome of Romantic passion, full of harmonic colors and emotional depth. The sparkling conclusion to this musical journey through time is Maurice Ravel’s virtuoso »Tzigane«, composed in the first third of the 20th century, which allows the violin to shine in all its brilliance.

    The Golden Voices of Gospel

    »Clap your hands...«, »stamp your feet...«, »shout hallelujah....« will be the order of the day when the audience is invited to join in and experience the music. The sometimes melancholy, sometimes rousingly spirited gospels, supported by the fantastic rhythm section, get under your skin like hardly any other music. And yet these are church songs as they are sung in the services of the Black Churches in the USA and the Caribbean. In their very personal and inimitable way, the Golden Voices of Gospel invite you on a journey through a century of spirituals, traditionals and gospels. This music expresses like no other the attitude to life, the pride and the devotion of the vast majority of the black population in the USA.
