Orchester
Symphoniker Hamburg
Die Symphoniker Hamburg sind seit 1957 das originäre Symphonieorchester aller Hamburgerinnen und Hamburger. Sie stehen für Konzerte, die höchsten künstlerischen Ansprüchen genügen, für eine ungewöhnlich vielseitige Musikvermittlung, für Profil in gesellschaftlichen Debatten und für den traditionsreichen Standort: Die Laeiszhalle, deren Residenzorchester sie sind. Die Symphoniker Hamburg gelten nach bald sechs Jahrzehnten als essentieller Bestandteil des Hamburger Musiklebens sowie als Repräsentant der noch jungen Idee einer Musikstadt Hamburg.
Der Intendant Daniel Kühnel und der weltweit renommierte Orchesterchef Sir Jeffrey Tate haben sich seit Beginn ihrer Zusammenarbeit im Jahre 2009 mit der profilierten Programmgestaltung einen Namen gemacht. Nicht zuletzt durch anspruchsvolle und unverwechselbare Programme, die zum Synonym für die Konzerte der Symphoniker Hamburg geworden sind, ist es gelungen, die Zahl der Besucher erheblich zu steigern. Völlig unerwartet starb Sir Jeffrey am 2. Juni 2017.
Mit ihrem Gespür für außergewöhnliche Künstler – der herausragende Geiger Guy Braunstein ist Erster Gastkünstler, zudem konnte 2014 mit Ion Marin ein profilierter Erster Gastdirigent gewonnen werden – arbeiten die Symphoniker Hamburg stets daran, für ihre Stadt ein unverwechselbares Qualitätsprofil zu entwickeln. Dieses soll in alle nur erdenklichen Lebensbereiche hinein wirken, von jedem Hamburger gehört und erlebt werden und über die Stadtgrenzen hinaus strahlen. Der Wirkungskreis der Symphoniker Hamburg ist dementsprechend nicht auf die Laeiszhalle beschränkt, sondern erstreckt sich auch auf die Hochschule für Musik und Theater, auf die Hamburgische Staatsoper sowie auf Konzertsäle des Umlands. Insbesondere die Musikvermittlung für Kinder und Jugendliche bildet dabei einen wesentlichen Schwerpunkt. Mit ihrer Aktion „MusikImPuls“ machen sie seit 2015 die Straßen und Plätze Hamburgs zur Bühne.
Tourneen führten das Orchester u.a. nach Japan, in die USA und in viele europäische Länder.

Chor
Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper
The chorus members appear on stage at the Hamburg State Opera in a different role almost every night. From one day to the next, they might be sailors, pilgrims or conspirators, then courtiers, hunters, the deranged or the imprisoned. In the role of crusaders in I Lombardi alla prima Crociata they travel to Jerusalem, other nights they are invited to Madama Butterfly's marriage or acclaim Prince Igor. The ladies and gentlemen of the opera chorus demonstrate their artistic prowess, their flexibility, and their love of the stage in every performance.
With a membership around 70, the chorus of the Hamburg State Opera has been one of the world’s best opera choruses for many years. The varied repertoire – almost always in the original language – is multifaceted and includes baroque operas and dramatic operas, major works by Verdi and Wagner as well as contemporary pieces. At the start of the 2013/14 season, Eberhard Friedrich took over the post of Chorus Master.
