Lucas et Arthur Jussen

Lucas Jussen, born on 27 February 1993, and Arthur Jussen, born on 28 September 1996, form a Dutch piano duo. Brothers, they have performed in public since early childhood, often together as a duo. They come from a family of musicians: their mother, Christianne van Gelder, teaches flute, while their father, Paul Jussen, is a timpanist with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra in Hilversum and a percussionist with the Ensemble Da Capo. Both brothers studied under piano teacher Jan Wijn. They have lived and studied with Maria João Pires and have played with pianists Ricardo Castro and Lang Lang.

On 24 November 2006, at the ages of 10 and 13, they performed Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 10 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam with the Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic, conducted by Jaap van Zweden. On 30 November 2009, they performed Poulenc's Concerto for Two Pianos with the same orchestra under Michael Schønwandt. The Jussen brothers signed a recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon on 12 March 2010 and have recorded the Mozart and Poulenc concertos, as well as other works in duo and solo settings. After two years of study with Menahem Pressler in the United States starting in October 2013, Lucas continued his training with Dmitri Bashkirov at the Reina Sofía School of Music in Madrid. He is also an artist in residence with the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra. Arthur studied at the Amsterdam Conservatory under Jan Wijn.
