'From Pires, we learnt the importance of breathing and never separating technique from musicality. We hope that when people hear us, they will recognise a little Maria João Pires in us', says Lucas Jussen. The world-renowned piano duo Arthur and Lucas Jussen feel honoured to present a concert in homage to the Portuguese master pianist who was at the forefront of their stormy musical careers from early childhood.

Lucas and Artur Jussen are among the most sought-after piano duos of our time. In view of their illustrious international career, one could remark that the Jussen brothers (30 and 26) are the Netherland’s pre-eminent ambassadors for classical music. With their energetic, almost symbiotic playing, their great refinement of sound and gripping interpretations, they are praised vigorously by press and audiences alike. ‘It is like driving a pair of BMWs’, exclaimed conductor Michael Schønwandt about the two pianists after directing them in concert.
