Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Lucas & Arthur Jussen in Recital
31 August @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm AEST

It’s not often you get to hear music written for two pianos – or rarer still, four hands playing the same piano. You need two musicians totally in synch, so deeply connected that they know each other’s every thought and gesture.
Lucas and Arthur Jussen literally have that connection in their DNA. The Dutch brothers are taking the classical world by storm with their mesmerizing performances and Deutsche Grammophon albums, praised as ‘formidable storytellers, who captivate listeners with their spellbinding craft’ (Der Tagesspiegel).
In their Sydney Opera House Concert Hall debut they take us on an adventure through more than 100 years of music, starting with the poised elegance of Mozart and the lyricism of Schubert’s beloved Fantasie. With four hands playing one piano, these are works requiring breathtaking precision and understanding.
