Theater, Performance und Tanz in Hamburg - Kampnagel

FESTIVAL FOR CONTEMPORARY MUSIC
19. TO 22. NOVEMBER 2015

“I can only be happy when I have music in my head” – this is how Canadian composer Claude Vivier once described his recipe for a fulfilled life. A lovely motto, which also serves as a good alternative title for the ‘Greatest Hits’ Festival. For the focus of the event is on the power of today’s music and the efforts to make it accessible to as many people as possible.  Even in its third year, ‘Greatest Hits’ avoids all of the clichés around contemporary music and plunges itself into the blazing festival with sheer delight. There is a large section of the event dedicated to Claude Vivier, including performances of several of his hits, even in the form of a ballet, which has been specially conceived for the festival. As before, Hamburg’s ‘local heroes’ will present their own series, and for ear-opening new sound experiences we welcome back electro-series ‘ePhil’ in the late hours, this time ‘extended’. And the next generation are also involved, come into their own in various projects on and off stage. The fact that ‘Greatest Hits’ has established itself as a sustainable platform for modern music in Hamburg is in no small part down to the initiative of the NDR series ‘das neue werk’,  supporting the festival alongside Elbphilharmonie concerts and Kampnagel.
