Music from Hamburg

Hamburg's melody sounds in 1000 beautiful tones

Hamburg's musical history goes back to the 17th century. And even today, the music metropolis is internationally known beyond the city limits for its multi-layered music scene.

Here, people not only experience music, but also create it - thanks to renowned music schools, music studios and labels.
