Lucas Jussen is one half of the acclaimed Dutch piano duo, the Jussen Brothers. Born into a musical family, Lucas, alongside his sibling, Arthur Jussen, has risen to prominence not only in their homeland of the Netherlands but across the international classical music scene. Both brothers began their piano educations at a very young age, and their prodigious talents were recognized early on. They were eventually mentored by the renowned pianist, Maria João Pires, and have since developed a reputation for their dynamic and sensitive playing, as well as their deep understanding of the repertoire they choose to perform.

The Jussen Brothers' discography reflects an adventurous exploration of both the traditional piano duo repertoire and contemporary works. Lucas Jussen's performances on releases like "Dutch Masters" and "Roukens: Silent Echoes" show an artist committed to bringing fresh interpretations to established works while also championing new music – a trait underlined by his involvement in the premieres of pieces like Joey Roukens's "Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra 'In Unison'." Whether delving into the rich textures of Russian composers with "The Russian Album" or interpreting the complexities of Stravinsky and Bach, Lucas Jussen's artistry is testament to the depth and versatility of the piano duo genre. His career not only encompasses recordings but also includes international tours, collaborations with top orchestras, and performances at some of the world's most prestigious concert halls.
