Join the Friends for a concert program like no other! Eckart Runge and Jacques Ammon challenge classical music audiences by presenting Beethoven with modern icons, including David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Frank Zappa, and more! After decades of performing Beethoven string quartets with the world-renowned Artemis Quartet, Runge and duo partner Ammon will wow audiences with their mastery of the modern and the classical.

‘Revolutionary Icons’ with Runge&Ammon
Friday, May 6 | 7:00 PM
Yardley Hall, Midwest Trust Center

Thanks to his ‘rock star’ works (eg the ninth symphony’s ‘Ode to Joy’ or the ‘Moonlight Sonata’), Beethoven has become an iconic pop star in the world of classical music. In this unique program created by piano/cello duo Runge&Ammon, Beethoven is juxtaposed with the revolutionary icons of the rock-pop-jazz genres to create unexpected perspectives and a heart-pounding listening experience.
