On March 14, 2016 the Philadelphia music community lost a dear, long-time friend: clarinetist, composer, and conductor Arne Running who passed away at age 72 following an illness. 

Arne was a well-loved and respected colleague who had a multi-faceted career as a clarinetist with numerous Philadelphia ensembles, as a composer who wrote pieces for many local music groups (including Orchestra 2001), and as a conductor who formerly led orchestras at Swarthmore College and elsewhere in the area. His presence in our local community will be sorely missed.

Orchestra 2001 would like to honor Arne by asking his musical friends and colleagues to contribute, in his memory, to our newly-created Clarinet Chair, the "Friends and Colleagues Chair in Memory of Clarinetist, Composer, and Conductor Arne Running.”

We would like to encourage those who knew and loved Arne, to make a donation of any amount for the naming of the first year of this Clarinet Chair. Excess funding will be used to continue the chair beyond Year 1 and/or to fund a performance of one of Arne’s compositions on a future Orchestra 2001 chamber music concert or out-of-town tour. 

All individual donations are tax-deductible and will be listed with the indication “In memory of Arne Running” in all Orchestra 2001 program books over the next 14 months. Musicians who have made contributions in 2016 may now have those apply to this fund.

Thank you for your consideration of this remembrance of Arne.

Allison Herz – Musician, Board Member, Orchestra 2001   

Adam Lesnick – Executive Director, Orchestra 2001
