Harmony of opposites
Hamburg's rap icon Samy Deluxe and the Mikis Takeover! Ensemble are once again tearing down the walls between hip-hop and classical music. What connects a chamber music ensemble and a rapper? A stage, a love of music – and the question of what "high culture" actually means.

Samy Deluxe & Mikis Takeover! Ensemble
In a fresh, never-before-heard soundscape, the classical musicians carry the tracks from Samy Deluxe's high-culture albums into new sonic realms: deeply immersive, powerfully stirring. Here, the emotional force of orchestral music meets the linguistic and rhythmic energy of hip-hop – a spectacular performance, a boon for both worlds, and an inspiring glimpse into just how vibrant high culture can be.
