Duo Runge & Ammon

If you were present at the final concert of the 2025 edition in the Church of Saanen, then you could not have missed his extraordinary talent: The pianist Jacques Ammon, equally at home in both classical and jazz, is returning – together with his long-time musical companion Eckart Runge, the former cellist of the legendary Artemis Quartet. Look forward to a program that will captivate us!
