Lucas and Arthur Jussen are among the most sought-after piano duos of our time. Given their illustrious international careers, it is fair to say the Jussen brothers (born 1993 and 1996) are the Netherlands’ 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’, remarked conductor Michael Schønwandt about the two pianists after directing them in concert.

Their international concert work regularly brings Lucas & Arthur Jussen together with leading orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Their artistic partners include conductors such as Iván Fischer, Susanna Mälkki, Joana Mallwitz, Andris Nelsons, Petr Popelka, Tugan Sokhiev, Kazuki Yamada and Jaap van Zweden.

Following acclaimed appearances at the Rheingau Musik Festival and the Festival de La Roque d'Anthéron and their celebrated debut at the BBC Proms, the 2026/27 season begins for Lucas & Arthur Jussen with a four-week tour of Australia, comprising concerts with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra as well as numerous recitals. Further highlights include their debut at Carnegie Hall in New York with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, appearances at the Osterfestspiele Baden-Baden and the Lucerne Festival, as well as engagements with orchestras such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the Orquesta Nacional de España and the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra.

A particular highlight of the season is the world premiere of a double concerto by Magnus Lindberg, composed especially for Lucas & Arthur Jussen, in December 2026 with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra under Jukka-Pekka Saraste. Further performances follow with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, the WDR Sinfonieorchester, the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Prague Symphony Orchestra.
