Lucas and Arthur Jussen (Piano)
Lucas and Arthur Jussen received their first piano lessons in their native town of Hilversum. It became clear quickly that they were great talents. As children, they were already invited to perform for the Dutch Queen Beatrix. In 2005, the brothers studied in Portugal and Brazil for nearly a year at the invitation of Portuguese master pianist Maria João Pires. Lucas completed his studies with Menahem Pressler in the United States and with Dmitri Bashkirov in Madrid. Arthur graduated from the Amsterdam Conservatory, where he studied with Jan Wijn.
The Jussen brothers have performed with orchestras such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, as well as Montréal, Sydney, Singapore and Shanghai Symphony Orchestras. They collaborate with renowned conductors such as Andris Nelsons, Christoph Eschenbach, Iván Fischer, Valery Gergiev, Sir Neville Marriner, and more.
In 2022, the Jussen brothers made their debut at the Tanglewood Festival. Together with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Andris Nelsons, they gave the United States premiere of Anka kuşu (Phoenix) for piano four-hands and orchestra, written for them by Fazıl Say. They are also Artists-in-Residence with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano.
Recording exclusively with Deutsche Grammophon since 2010, their debut CD with works by Beethoven received platinum status and was awarded the Edison Klassiek audience award. Their recording of Mozart’s piano concertos KV 365 and KV 242 together with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and Sir Neville Marriner reached gold status. The latest addition to their discography is Dutch Masters (2022) which is devoted to works by Dutch composers, including a collaboration with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and Karina Canellakis. The recording was awarded an Edison Klassiek in the category of Chamber Music as well as the Audience Award in September 2022.
