Igudesman and Joo. Coda - The Final Nightmare Music 1 October 2024

CODA - The Final Nightmare Music. 20 years of musical madness with Igudesman & Joo: Violinist Aleksey Igudesman and pianist Hyung-ki Joo, who captivate audiences of all ages with their unmistakable blend of musical skill, humor, groundbreaking arrangements and glorious chaos, present a spectacle that highlights their long musical journey. At the same time, CODA also marks the end of this musical journey: at the end of 2025, this dynamic duo will take the stage for the last time. The burning questions now arise: what musical showdown will we experience? Will Mozart and Bond finally settle their epic duel? Will the mysterious identity of Beethoven's Elise finally be revealed? And just how colossal were Rachmaninoff's hands?

Prepare yourself for an evening full of surprises that will make both die-hard fans and newcomers laugh. And get ready for some new numbers: Puccini will be awakened from his deepest slumber and deprived of his sleep - a daring feat. Naturally, the audience expects to hear his own version of "I Will Survive". But be prepared for this beloved classic to undergo one final transformation, taking us on a whimsical journey to the Far East.

To summarize: Igudesman & Joo intend to make this show either their absolute masterstroke or their total fiasco by fusing their much-loved classics, celebrated by millions on YouTube, with adventurous new numbers. The decision, dear viewers, is in your hands, thanks to an interactive poll during the performance. But one thing is certain: the fun is practically pre-programmed! Igudesman & Joo can be seen on October 1, 2024 in the Great Hall of the Elbphilharmonie.
