The EU-LAC Foundation, together with the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, invites you to the festive opening concert of the Latin America and Caribbean Autumn Festival 2026. The festival sees itself as a cultural bridge between Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
The concert takes the audience on a musical journey through the diverse soundscapes of Latin America. Leading artists from several countries across the continent come together in a program that blends classical music, folklore, jazz, and popular traditions. Works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Alberto Ginastera, Carlos Gardel, Chabuca Granda, and Paquito D'Rivera are juxtaposed with traditional music from Venezuela and Paraguay, as well as the timeless artistry of Johann Sebastian Bach.
This creates a multifaceted panorama of musical cultures, reflecting shared roots, vibrant exchange, and great stylistic diversity. The concert exemplifies the dialogue between the regions and the cultural diversity that the Latin America and Caribbean Autumn Festival brings to Hamburg each year. As a festive opening to the festival, this evening sends a musical message of encounter, understanding, and the close ties between Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
Tickets are available on the Elbphilharmonie’s official website.
