The annual Christmas concert of the Polizeichor Hamburg has been attracting young and old to the Laeiszhalle Hamburg for decades. The traditional male choir is always accompanied by renowned children’s and youth choirs, such as the Schaumburger Märchensänger. The youth symphony orchestra has been a guest for 31 years. An ensemble that the singers and audience would not want to miss.

The Landesjugendorchester Hamburg (LJO Hamburg) has been an integral part of the young music scene for over 55 years as the select orchestra of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The patron of the ensemble is the First Mayor, Dr Peter Tschentscher. In its working phases, the symphony orchestra devotes itself to major works of orchestral literature as well as programmes with smaller ensembles or contemporary works. This year’s autumn concert under the direction of Johannes Witt will feature the work »Aufbruch«, composed in 1986 by Detlev Glanert especially for the LJO Hamburg (then still the Hamburg Youth Orchestra). Glanert, who is now in demand all over the world and was himself a member of the youth orchestra at the time, composed the piece practically to fit the orchestra at the time. The Hamburger Abendblatt described the work after the premiere with the words: »Glanert’s stylistically ›forward‹ music is full of eruptive and lyrical ideas, organically developed in context and skilfully orchestrated.« Directly afterwards, the programme features Shostakovich’s 5th Symphony, a blockbuster that the Russian composer composed in 1937 under pressure from the Stalin regime. Shortly beforehand, he had fallen out of favour with his opera Lady Mcbeth of Mtsensk« due to his overly progressive compositional technique and now had to adapt outwardly. Whether grotesque ländler, furiously noisy march or mournful themes – Shostakovich created a parody of the triumphalism of the time, which the audience at the premiere certai»nly recognised, while the party leaders celebrated the return of the prodigal son with this symphony. A fallacy, as can also be seen from the musical quotations used in the symphony. Although Shostakovich was deeply connected to the Russian people and their culture, his progressive ideas under Stalinism meant that he himself always had to fear for his life and that of his family – he subtly expressed his demand for humanity and dignity through his music. The LJO Hamburg is organised by the Landesmusikrat in der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg e. V. and is funded by the Ministry of Culture and Media.
The KlassikPhilharmonie Hamburg (previously Hamburger Mozart-Orchester) was founded in 1978 by conductor Robert Stehli. The orchestra’s repertoire ranges from the Baroque to the Modern period. In addition to concerts at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival and the Mozartfest Würzburg as well as international tours, the KlassikPhilharmonie is a regular and welcome guest in Hamburg’s Laeiszhalle. The »Hamburg Proms« are something of an institution in Hamburg’s music scene: just like at the famous London model, the »Last Night of the Proms«, at the »Hamburg Proms« the audience breaks with strict concert traditions and shows its full enthusiasm by clapping, singing and tapping along with the music.
The Kammersinfonie Hamburg is playing a benefit concert on the eve of International Women’s Day in aid of organisations in Hamburg that look after women and girls who suffer or have suffered from physical and psychological violence and discrimination. The works performed are intended to highlight examples of female composers who have not had it easy in their lives as composers. In addition, voices will be heard that illustrate the discriminatory attitude of male composer colleagues.
Mit einem Programm rund um Sofia Gubaidulinas mystisches kompositorisches Schaffen gastiert das hr-Sinfonieorchester im Anschluss an das Frankfurter Konzert auch in der Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. Der Glaube ist das zentrale Thema im Leben und in der Musik Gubaidulinas, die sich 1970 russisch-orthodox taufen ließ. Ihre Verbundenheit mit dem göttlichen Kosmos prägt ihr gesamtes Schaffen und offenbart sich in zahlreichen religiös inspirierten Werktiteln. So auch in »Der Zorn Gottes«, ihrem erst 2022 uraufgeführten »grandios apokalyptischen Orchesterwerk« (Süddeutsche Zeitung). Zuvor widmet sich die lettische Violinistin Baiba Skride Gubaidulinas 3. Violinkonzert »Dialog: Ich und Du«, das vom gleichnamigen Buch Martin Bubers aus dem Jahr 1923 inspiriert wurde. Unter der Leitung des Franzosen Maxime Pascal treten die beiden Kompositionen Gubaidulinas dabei in Beziehung zu Olivier Messiaens leuchtendem Orchesterwerk »L’Ascension« über die Himmelfahrt Christi und zur kompositorischen Strenge der Sinfonie in drei Sätzen von Igor Strawinsky.
Alain Altinoglu and the hr-Symphony Orchestra will perform in Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie with a French repertoire. The program includes Henri Dutilleux's 2nd Symphony, Claude Debussy's "Ariettes oubliées", and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade". Mezzo-soprano Ambroisine Bré joins as soloist.
The sound of the »Klezmerata« is the exciting encounter of Jewish folklore with gypsy music, tango, swing and elements of Yiddish theatre.
