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.

    Anny Hwang / Klavierabend

    With »AnnyTime StoryTime«, the internationally acclaimed pianist Anny Hwang invites the audience to a captivating musical storytelling experience. Each work in her programme unfolds its own story – sometimes full of passion, sometimes with gentle poetry, always imbued with depth and expressiveness. Ballads already existed in literature, but Chopin set himself the task of realising them in classical music. To celebrate this kind of narrative, the programme opens with Chopin’s lyrical Ballade No. 2, followed by Beethoven’s dramatic Appassionata Sonata, which is one of the most impressive works of piano literature in terms of its intensity.
