Out of the traditional concert halls and into the vibrant Hamburg club scene! In the »voiceXchange« concert series, four singers from the NDR Vokalensemble regularly invite artists and ensembles from different genres and styles to explore new ways of musical collaboration and build artistic bridges to the here and now. At this concert, Hamburg’s Club Gruenspan will be transformed into a venue for musical discoveries far removed from the classical cosmos.
Songs connect people and tell stories. They provide insights into special moments along lifelines and into every conceivable human relationship. Songs in as many forms as possible are the focus of the new »Liedstadt Hamburg« festival, which starts on 3 October 2024. In the afternoon, a wide variety of Liedstadt artists will be out and about in Hamburg, performing 50 pop-up concerts. The opening concert at NDR’s Rolf-Liebermann-Studio will present a selection of the artists on stage and live on NDR Kultur. They combine their songs with their own stories, feelings and experiences. Classical piano songs can be heard alongside Syrian music, contemporary songs and »songs without words«. An evening that tells stories with songs and about songs.
The four virtuoso percussionists of Elbtonal Percussion have mastered »creative crossover« like no other formation. The ensemble has been travelling the world for 25 years. Their collection of instruments also includes everyday objects that have been repurposed. Spontaneity and improvisation are the basis of all music, in every era. The result is a powerful and multicoloured encounter. Modern vocal composers such as Whitacre or Mäntyjärvi as well as Handel or William Byrd are tested for their percussive qualities. Vocal colours meet tambourine, tonewoods and marimba.
Hip-hop meets classical music: the singers of the NDR Vokalensemble and rapper Lia Şahin invite you to a crossover between hip-hop and classical music.
