Summer, sun, beaches ... and the Elbphilharmonie! Whether symphony orchestra, jazz, pop or world music: at the end of August, the summer festival invites you to a colourful mix of concerts in the Grand Hall. A short trip that is always well worth it!
Two audience favourites return to the »Elbphilharmonie Summer«: Czech conductor Jakub Hrůša and British cello shooting star Sheku Kanneh-Mason. They have Dvořák’s celebrated cello concerto and Josef Suk’s »Asrael« Symphony in their bag.
The members of this orchestra are among the best young international musicians. Under the direction of Ingo Metzmacher, they perform well-loved Beethoven overtures and Shostakovich’s monumental Eighth Symphony, among others, with youthful esprit.
As many musicians as could possibly fit on the stage: Arnold Schönberg's monumental "Gurre-Lieder" take late romanticism to the extreme. A unique experience beyond the usual concert evening with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra and XXL cast.
This drummer and his band are cult. Brian Blade has made a name for himself in bands with jazz greats such as Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock and is also causing a stir with the Fellowship Band and his own pieces. Jazz at its finest!
Firmly anchored in numerous musical styles and yet far too rarely alone in the spotlight: the acoustic guitar. At the Elbphilharmonie, it now takes centre stage four times. Ana Vidovic kicks off the programme with music from J.S. Bach to Astor Piazzolla.
It’s going to be magical: »The Noon Witch« by Dvořák, fairytale scenes by Suk and a folkloristic violin concerto by Martinů. The Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra is joined by violinist Josef Špaček and conductor Petr Popelka – it comes as Czech as it gets!
This young pianist is currently turning heads: Alexandre Kantorow is conquering the world’s major stages. He is giving several concerts at the Elbphilharmonie as a focus artist. Of course, a solo evening with Brahms, Liszt and others is not to be missed!
An all-star ensemble kicks off the new season of chamber music at the Laeiszhalle: Isabelle Faust, Anne Katharina Schreiber, Antoine Tamestit, Christian Poltéra and Jean-Guihen Queyras present highly Romantic late works by Schubert.
This is the sound of tomorrow’s jazz: For the grand opening of the popular »Jazz Piano« series, New York pianist Kris Davis and her sensational band are coming to Hamburg – exciting fusion jazz that is not to be missed.
This will be a historic moment: For the first time since it was written in the 17th century, this oratorio will be performed again. Vinci’s operas are regarded as true baroque fireworks – and this one will be no different. And in the best original sound!
No events will take place in the Laeiszhalle from 17 June to 6 October. For several seasons during summer, the historic building will be modernised in terms of building and event technology, e.g. with better air conditioning and a new lighting system.
Babys' and children's concerts for all age groups, music theatre for a young audience and imaginative concerts for the whole family – there is a wide range of events on offer for children and families in the Elbphilharmonie and the Laeiszhalle.
Just a few hours to go until the concert of the year, but then suddenly it all goes wrong. Become a member of the Elbphilharmonie team and save the concert – complete with tricky puzzles and exciting backstage tours.
