Piano duo recital by young Dutch pianists Jussen brothers to showcase exceptional chemistry in September (with photo)
******************************************************************************************
The Jussen brothers will open the recital with three piano four-hand pieces arranged from Bach's works, namely "Schafe können sicher weiden" (from "Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd", BWV 208), "Nun komm' der Heiden Heiland", BWV 599 and "Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit", BWV 106. The duo will then perform three two-piano pieces including Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D, K 448, Ravel's "La valse" and Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring", allowing the audience to experience their seamless co-operation and co-ordination, as well as the richness and harmony in their music.
Lucas and Arthur Jussen were invited to perform for the former Queen of the Netherlands, Beatrix, when they were children. The brothers studied in Portugal and Brazil for nearly a year at the invitation of Portuguese master pianist Maria João Pires. After that, Lucas completed his studies with Menahem Pressler and Dmitri Bashkirov, and Arthur studied with Jan Wijn. They have performed with world-class orchestras such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and are now Artists-in-Residence with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano.
