Music

Music pleasures

Without music, life would be a mistake, so they say. At the HanseKulturFestival, we transform the entire founding quarter into a stage. Live acts can be found in the middle of the streets, in churches and, of course, on various stages. Along the Untertrave, the sound of rock and pop fills the air, whereas classical ensembles are concentrated mainly near the theatre. Be enchanted by the unique sounds of street musicians and feel the various rhythms inspire your body to dance along on the market square. In short: mistakes aren’t possible!

At the MuK Bridge
Uh-oh, what’s happened here! What appears at first glance to be an accident, is actually intentional. The stage lorry didn’t get stranded here by accident, but is here on purpose to offer you the best musical entertainment à la Lübeck. From shanty choirs to cover bands, or from drum bands to local heroes, the whole range can be heard here. The theme for this stage is colourful and entertaining!

Street Sound

An entire neighbourhood resounds with hymns, strings, guitars and choirs. There are many small meeting places in the many ribbed streets along the Untertrave. For the HanseKulturFestival they will be wrapped in music. From windows, hidden in gardens or simply in the middle of the street: sounds from everywhere create a special kind of sound carpet that will enchant you.
