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.

    20 Jahre Boulanger Trio

    In February 2026, the Boulanger Trio will celebrate 20 years together – with the same line-up since its foundation. This rare continuity has given rise to a distinctive ensemble sound, supported by a deep musical understanding and a familiarity between the three musicians that has grown over many years.



    They are dedicating their anniversary program to the sisters Nadia and Lili Boulanger, whose musical legacy has shaped and inspired the trio from the very beginning. With works by Gabriel Fauré, the most important teacher of the two sisters, and Maurice Ravel, a close friend of the family, a multifaceted panorama of the Parisian music world of the early 20th century emerges. The program is complemented by »Vitebsk« by Aaron Copland, one of Nadia Boulanger’s important early students, and Lili Boulanger’s touching »Deux Pièces«.

    A Tribute to John Coltrane: Nathan Ott Quartett

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

     

    Zum 100. Geburtstag von John Coltrane stellt Nathan Ott ein Quartett vor, das sich von Coltranes Denken inspirieren lässt, ohne es zu reproduzieren. Ausgangspunkt ist Coltranes spätes Schaffen: nicht als Repertoire, sondern als Idee. Als Offenheit mit Mut zur Veränderung. In dieser Haltung begegnen sich Christof Lauer (Tenor- und Sopransaxophon), Camila Nebbia (Tenorsaxophon), Jonas Westergaard (Bass) und Nathan Ott (Schlagzeug): Musiker*innen aus unterschiedlichen Generationen und Kontexten. Nathan Otts Schlagzeugspiel schafft Räume und Beweglichkeit, verbindet Komposition und Improvisation zu einem offenen Gefüge. Darin entfalten sich Lauers expressive Klangsprache, Camila Nebbias markante Energie und Westergaards elastische, präsente Basslinien zu einer dichten, hochkommunikativen Musik. Was live entsteht, ist keine Hommage im klassischen Sinn, sondern eine Musik im Geiste Coltranes: Forschend und von innerer Spannung getragen.

    Art of Impossible — an intimate evening of theatrical magic and self-discovery.

    "Art of Impossible" is an exclusive evening of theatrical magic by Dr. Alex Romanoff, magician and historian.

    Hosted in Hamburg’s Zaubermuseum Bellachini – a private collection curated by Wittus Witt – the show takes you on a journey through the art and history of magic. Blending storytelling, humour, and participation, Dr. Romanoff explores why humans are drawn to the impossible and how our perception of mystery reveals something about ourselves.

    This is not a traditional magic show but an interactive cultural experience where amazement meets reflection. Whether you come with a partner, a friend, or family, it’s a night for adults who enjoy intelligent entertainment and meaningful conversation — an evening that combines curiosity, laughter, and discovery.

    Limited to only 20 guests, each performance creates a rare closeness between artist and audience.
