How does the active examination with Telemann’s life and work look like in Hamburg?
The legacy of Georg Philipp Telemann is maintained by a number of institutions and ensembles in Hamburg. Specialist ensembles like the Elbipolis Baroque Orchestra grapple intensely with Telemann’s music. In the concert series „NDR Das Alte Werk“ Telemann’s works are regularly performed. To beware the remembrance of Telemann’s work in Hamburg is the main purpose of the Hamburg Telemann Society and also of the Telemann Foundation which is connected with it. Among the initiatives of the Telemann Society is, among others, the opening of the Telemann Museum in May 2011. Since March 2015 the Telemann Museum belongs to the group of the historical composer’s quarter together with the museums for Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Johann Adolf Hasse.
