CONCERT WATCH – Berlin Balcony Concerts

Every Sunday evening, the residents of an apartment complex in Berlin join together in solidarity and music. Cellist Eckart Runge and pianist Jacques Ammon have been performing together for decades, and they both happen to live in that apartment complex. When the quarantine took hold, Eckart and Jacques wanted to do something to help their community, to lift people’s spirits with music. So they started a series of balcony concerts. Neighbors and friends gather on their own balconies or in the courtyard below to watch, listen... even dance a tango – every week. You can join too – virtually, this Sunday at noon. For a link go to wqxr.org/concertwatch.
