Duo Runge & Ammon
Eckart Runge Cello
Jacques Ammon Piano
The Duo Runge & Ammon arose from a shared passion for chamber music border crossings around jazz, tango, rock, theater and film music, and celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. The two musicians regularly perform in important concert series and festivals as well as in clubs in Europe, Asia, the USA and South America.
In 2019, 2020 and 2021, director Tom Tykwer invited the duo to record the film music for the award-winning TV series Babylon Berlin. In 2024, Eckart Runge & Jacques Ammon were invited to create their own concert series as Artists in Residence at Konzerthaus Berlin.
Since 2021, the duo has been working exclusively with the Berlin Classics/EDEL label. The first album Revolutionary Icons juxtaposes works by Beethoven with revolutionary icons of rock-pop history such as Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa and David Bowie. 2022 saw the release of Baroque in Blue, an album in which jazz and baroque music enter into dialogue.
In 2025 came Opium, reflecting the creativity and sensuality — but also the foreboding of rupture and catastrophe — between the two world wars, and its bearing on our own decade.
