Hamburg: Music Metropolis
Hamburg is one of Germany's favourite cities for music. Whether you prefer a symphony in the Elbphilharmonie, a small live club on the Reeperbahn, or a show under the open sky in the harbur, Hamburg has a variety of live music experiences to offer locals and visitors alike.
Of course the Hamburg live-music experience is quite different at the moment. Concerts, festivals and musicals are all on hold due to the ongoing COVID-19 health crisis. So what are music lovers to do? Luckily no pandemic can silence Hamburg's music scene. Fast financial support from the city and a multitude of creative concepts from Hamburg's musicians have kept the musical heart of the Hanseatic city beating.
