Karg-Elert Days

From October 16 to 18, 2026, we cordially invite you to the Karg-Elert Days in Hamburg. The work of composer Sigfrid Karg-Elert (1877–1933) lies at the intersection of rich, sonorous Impressionism, the late Romantic tradition, and the musical upheavals of the early 20th century. Our three-day program combines scholarly exploration with a diverse range of concerts. We very much look forward to inspiring encounters, moving music, and professional exchanges with you in Hamburg, the city of the organ!
