MAXIMUM MUSICAL ENJOYMENT The sound of the Hamburg orchestras

Hanseatic music history dates back to the 17th century. Even today, Hamburg plays at the forefront of classical music, whether it's traditional or contemporary pieces. The Elbphilharmonie, the Laeiszhalle, the bunker on St. Pauli, churches and open-air concerts provide space for ensembles, orchestras, choirs and soloists.
