The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

Whether they appear at the Queen’s private birthday party in Windsor Castle, at the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall, in Carnegie Hall or at the Sydney Opera House – it is the declared mission of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain to fight the serious side of life with all their might. They pull it off with charm, British wit, surprising arrangements and pure delight in playing and entertaining people. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, founded in 1985, celebrates its 40th anniversary with a fast-paced sprint through all musical genres: from ABBA to ZZ Top, from Tchaikovsky to Nirvana, from bluegrass to Lady Gaga. A witty, quirky, great, rousing obituary for rock’n’roll and melodic entertainment, all played on the »bonsai guitar«.

De 3. groote Plattdüütsch Gala

After the great successes at the sold-out Kiel Opera House and the Metropol Theater in Bremen, the entire Low German scene meets this time in Hamburg and shows what Low German has to offer (and that it is more than just »döntjes« in rubber boots) in a grand gala.

The Dubliners Encore

The Dubliners Encore is a live show that tells the story of Ireland’s greatest folk band, reviving their unforgettable music. Devised and narrated by the last living Dubliners member John Sheahan and Phil Coulter, the band’s original record producer and musical director, The Dubliners Encore is the official story of the band in their heyday. This deeply personal tribute is fuelled by the band’s iconic music, their best-loved songs, unreleased archive recordings and, of course, the legendary stories told with boundless joy. In this way, not only the music but also the aura of this incomparable folk band returns to the stage!

The Great Movie Night

Experience the captivating highlights of film music from classics such as Harry Potter, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Superman, E.T., and Indiana Jones, all composed by the legendary John Williams. This film music gala is a tribute to the work of this great composer.

Night of the 5 Tenors

Vincenzo Sanso, Luigi Frattola, Orfeo Zanetti, Emil Pavlov and Alejo Ruiz can usually be seen performing in the world’s greatest opera houses. For the »Night of the 5 Tenors«, now in its 15th year, they join forces to present a programme of the most popular arias from the operatic repertoire, including: »Rigoletto«, »Turandot« and »Carmen«. They are accompanied by the Bulgarian Plovdiv Symphonic Orchestra. Sought-after soprano Andrea Hörkens supplies a congenial commentary to guide us through the evening.

Verdi "Messa da Requiem"

Gravitations: Verdi

When Haggai Cohen-Milo describes his approach to creatively engaging with works of concert literature from the perspective of a jazz musician, it is flying objects in space that come to mind. When exploring the work, he feels like a spaceship that is drawn to the moon – the work – and thus accelerates further, finally overcoming the gravitational forces through targeted counter-steering, shooting past it and exploring new worlds: Worlds that lie beyond. Haggai Cohen-Milo, double bassist and composer, is a border crosser between genres and art forms, in demand worldwide and also a welcome guest at the Symphoniker Hamburg, most recently at the Martha Argerich Festival 2024. At the suggestion of the Symphoniker Hamburg, he has explored three heavyweights of the classical repertoire for the three-part concert series »Gravitations«. Cohen-Milo circles the work in conversation, study and improvisation, searches for the essential emotions and themes in it, uncovers them for himself and then creates something completely unique and new in sound and text with his artistic collaborators: three unique concerts between jazz, improvisation and spoken word art.
