The Hamburg Composers 'Quarter (spelling Composers' Quartier ) is a private museum ensemble in Hamburg . It consists of the Brahms Museum , which has been in existence since 1971 , the Telemann Museum (opened in 2011), the Carl-Philipp-Emanuel-Bach-Museum and the Johann-Adolf-Hasse-Museum (both 2015). In May 2018, the museums for Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn and Gustav Mahler were added.
The exhibition rooms are located in historically reconstructed town houses on the south side of Peterstraße in Hamburg's Neustadt district . The exhibitions present the biographies of the composers associated with Hamburg and important for the European music history of the 18th century. They want to convey the historical musical life of Hamburg and make references to the urban and contemporary history of the epoch. The exhibits include a model of a baroque opera stage, musical instruments such as the square piano on which Johannes Brahms taught, a clavichord , the instrument preferred by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and a spinet .
The sponsoring association of the same name was sponsored by the Carl Toepfer Foundation , the Hamburg University of Music and Theater , the Hamburg Telemann Society , the Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Society in Hamburg , the Hasse Society Bergedorf , the Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn Society, the Johannes Brahms Society Hamburg and the Gustav Mahler Association Hamburg. The conductor Kent Nagano is the patron of the Composers' Quarter .
A symbolic handover of the keys for the new exhibition rooms took place on December 16, 2014, and the Museum Quarter was officially opened on March 19, 2015.
