Lucas & Arthur Jussen (piano duo) Vérifié

Lucas & Arthur Jussen are among the most sought-after piano duos of our time. Given their brilliant international career, it is fair to say that the Jussen brothers (born in 1993 and 1996) are Holland’s best-known ambassadors for classical music. With their energetic, almost symbiotic playing, their great tonal sophistication and their gripping interpretations, they are enthusiastically acclaimed by press and audience alike. ‘It’s like driving two BMWs at the same time,’ said conductor Michael Schønwandt about the two pianists after a joint concert. Engagements have taken them to leading orchestras such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Budapest Festival Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. They have worked with many renowned conductors, including Christoph Eschenbach, Iván Fischer, Sir Neville Marriner, Andris Nelsons, Yannick Nezét-Séguin and Jaap van Zweden. Lucas & Arthur Jussen are Artists in Residence with the Frankfurt hr Symphony Orchestra for the 2025/2026 season. They will be featured in several programmes as part of this residency. A particular highlight of the season is their eagerly awaited debut with the Berlin Philharmonic in February 2026.In Asia, the Jussen brothers will perform for the first time at the Tongyeong International Music Festival. They will then travel to Taiwan to give a concert with the Taiwan Philharmonic and play at the Weiwuying International Music Festival. Highlights in Europe include appearances at major festivals such as the Gstaad Festival, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival, the Enescu Festival and the Istanbul Music Festival. Lucas & Arthur Jussen have been signed to Deutsche Grammophon since 2010. Their debut recording of works by Beethoven went platinum and won the Edison Klassiek Audience Award. This was followed by a Schubert CD and the album Jeux featuring French piano music. In their latest recording, ‘Dutch Masters’ (April 2022), supported by the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, among others, they devote themselves to works by Dutch composers. This recording was awarded an Edison Klassiek and the audience prize.
