Hamburg, Germany HAMBURG, GERMANY Arrive: 0800 Thursday, 05 September Onboard: 1800 Sunday, 08 September Brief Overview: With a population of 1.8 million, Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany, after Berlin. 50% of the city was destroyed in World War II, but today it is the “greenest” city in Germany, thanks to tree-lined avenues and an abundance of parks including the three lakes of Alster Park. Not only green in color, the HafenCity is the largest urban reclamation development in Europe and has won numerous awards for its eco-friendly blend of modern and historic buildings. Hamburg also boasts an incredible amount of waterways and 2,500 bridges, many of which are adorned with “love padlocks” -- a phenomenon that began in Italy and quickly spread across Europe thanks to the book I Want You by Federico Mocci. Surprisingly, Hamburg is third to New York and London in musical theater productions. The Lion King theater is a short boat ride across the harbor and may be seen from our ship. As new as musical theater is to Hamburg, it has nothing on the trumpeter at St. Michael’s church, who has been bugling to the four directions of the city every day at 10 am and 9 pm for three hundred years. Plan to be in the vicinity at least once during your port stay. Out of town: About an hour from Hamburg is Lübeck: the “queen” of the Hansa League (medieval precursor to the European Union) and a quaint town to explore with Professor Greg Mason. Berlin, with all its fascinating history and modern graffiti is an easy bus (3.5 hours) or train (2+ hours) ride away. The Germany of brats and fests isn’t entirely out of reach, but it is about 6 hours south in the state of Bavaria. On Your Own: The S-Bahn, U-Bahn, city buses, and your own two feet make getting around town easy. In addition, there are red “rent-a-bikes” (1,650 bikes that can be rented from 130 stands). If you want to rent one, register at the bike stand, online, or with the Stadtrap app. The first half hour is free, followed by 8 cents a minute with a max of 12 Euro per day. Bikes can be returned at any station (think Redbox or Zipcar). For outdoor enthusiasts, there is a five- mile trail around Alster Lake that is popular among Hamburgers (yes, that’s what they are called!) that begins at Jungfernstieg. Canoes, paddle boats, or sailboats may also be rented for some time on the lake.

  • The Elbphilharmonie. More Than Just a Concert Hall
    ARCHITECTURE Since its official opening on 11 January 2017, the Elbphilharmonie has come to be an absolute crowd-puller. Every year, some 4 million people visit the Plaza, the public viewing area between the building’s brick base and the glass superstructure. The Plaza offers a superb panoramic view of the harbour and the city, and entry is free of charge. It is also home to the Elbphilharmonie Shop and to the Smart Table, where visitors can explore the Elbphilharmonie interactively. A good 675 concerts per season – most of them sold A SPECTACULAR GESAMTKUNSTWERK out – lure some 900,000 enthusiastic music lovers to the Elbphilharmonie. More than THE ELBPHILHARMONIE. MORE THAN JUST A CONCERT HALL 80,000 visitors a year take part in the official guided tours, which include the foyer areas and the two concert halls. The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg is positioned between the industrial harbour and the city centre and is regarded worldwide as Hamburg’s landmark. The spectacular, 110-metre- high glass facade rises up like a wave of glass, and literally seems to hover above the rugged brick base of the historic quayside warehouse. The concert hall was designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and is located in the flow of the River Elbe at the western point of the HafenCity Hamburg, opposite the Landungsbrücken piers and in close proximity to the Speicherstadt, Kontorhausviertel and Chilehaus UNESCO World Heritage Site. With 2,100 seats, the Grand Hall is the true centrepiece of the Elbphilharmonie. The seats rise in a steep incline to encircle the stage for an entirely new music experience, rooted in acoustic perfection and an unprecedented closeness between artists and concertgoers.

  • New York Stories« Elbphilharmonie Brings the Music of the Big Apple to Hamburg – from 30 March to 4 April
    PRESS RELEASE »NEW YORK STORIES« ELBPHILHARMONIE BRINGS THE MUSIC OF THE BIG APPLE TO HAMBURG – FROM 30 MARCH TO 4 APRIL Hamburg, 27 March 2017: On six evenings featuring a whole variety of big names, audiences at the Elbphilharmonie can hear different facets of the wealth of musical styles that New York City is home to. The programme ranges from John Zorn’s »Bagatelle Marathon«, contemporary pieces for string quartet with the JACK Quartet and from an evening with Michael Feinstein and the hr- Bigband, playing gems from the »Great American Songbook«, to rap with Zebra Katz, great art pop with Anohni and the ensemble yMusic, and electronic music with Tyondai Braxton. The climax of the festival will be two concerts given by the New York Philharmonic under its principal conductor Alan Gilbert with cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the soprano Christina Landshamer. In addition, one of America’s leading contemporary composers, John Adams, will be making a guest appearance. It's an unchallenged claim that New York never sleeps. And if a city never sleeps, its inhabitants obviously have more time for everything, including playing music and listening to it. And it’s true that New Yorkers set great store by music – not least because so many aspiring musicians gravitate to the city from far afield in the belief that this is the only place where they can make their fortune. How did Frank Sinatra put it in the song he made immortal, »New York, New York«? – »If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere«. For decades, the East Coast metropolis, consisting of the five boroughs Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, was the focus of longing for countless immigrants from all over Europe.

  • Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Grosser Saal
    ELBPHILHARMONIE HAMBURG, GROSSER SAAL HAMBURG, GERMANY 2017 Acoustical Consultant Nagata Acoustics Architect Herzog & de Meuron Owner HamburgMusik gGmbH – Elbphilharmonie und Laeiszhalle Resident Ensembles NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra Symphoniker Hamburg Ensemble Resonanz Cost 789 million EUR (entire building) The Elbphilharmonie stands prominently on a 1963 warehouse facing directly to the Elbe river. The design keyword of the Grosser Saal is "intimacy". Because of the size of the Grosser Saal, the question of how to make the audience feel "not distant" from the performers became the most important theme of the design work. When Nagata Acoustics joined the design team, the project had already decided that the basic shape of the Grosser Saal would no be the "shoebox" configuration, but instead would use the so-called "vineyard" configuration to seat the audience as close to the stage as possible. In order to achieve acoustical intimacy, the design solution involved creating small groups of audience seats and designing effective, sound-reflecting wall surfaces for every group of audience seating. he architect favored the seashell motif microshaping 3 3 for the diffusing surface pattern, which were usually expected to create soft sound reflections. They were also used to eliminate the long path echoes. The 2 depth of microshaping at each portion of wall and ceiling was defined through the acoustical test with a 1/10-scale physical model. 1 BUILDING DETAILS Location Platz der Deutschen Einheit 4 20457 Hamburg Germany 6 Seating Capacity: 2,100 3 Room Volume: 23,000 m3 Finish Materials 2 Ceiling: HGF, milled MS (Mass 125kg/m ) N PLAN LEVEL 16 Walls: HGF, milled MS (Mass 125kg/m2) 0 5 10m Herzog & de Meuron Aud.

  • Media Information
    MEDIA INFORMATION HAMBURG – A CITY UNDER THE SPELL OF MUSIC Hamburg's great appeal as a music city dates back to the 17th century: it was in 1678 that Europe’s first public opera house opened its gates here on the Gänsemarkt. Today, Hamburg’s rich music scene includes three professional orchestras, several distinguished soloists and chamber ensembles, jazz, rock and pop artists, composers, singer-songwriters, electro artists as well as several renowned training institutions. As a landmark for the city of music the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg provides a venue for many of these artists – and for some of them even a home: NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra is the Grand Hall’s orchestra in residence, and the Ensemble Resonanz is the Recital Hall’s ensemble in residence. The people of Hamburg not only love their city, but they also love their music. And since Hamburg was never ruled by kings or princes, it has always been the citizens themselves who have shaped the city’s music landscape. Public music venues beyond those established by the church started evolving as early as the 18th century. 1908 saw the opening of one of Europe’s most beautiful concert halls: the Laeiszhalle, which was built in neo-Baroque style. And up until WW2, the Laeiszhalle was by no means the only venue for symphonic concerts: the Conventgarten, which was destroyed in 1943, accommodated an even bigger audience than the Laeiszhalle. The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, an architectural gem and the city’s landmark not only in the realms of music, doubled Hamburg’s capacities and provides Hamburg with the great opportunity to (re)gain a prime position among the world’s most eminent music locations.
