Hamburg's live music scene is inexhaustible and versatile: international stars fill the big concert halls, renowned orchestras perform on traditional and modern stages at the highest level of sound, established singers and (as yet!) unknown newcomers from a wide variety of musical genres present themselves in clubs and bars as well as at countless festivals.
