“It is like driving a pair of BMWs,” declared conductor Michael Schønwandt after helming a concert featuring siblings Lucas and Arthur Jussen. 

The Dutch brothers have been playing piano together since childhood, and their shared ‘sound ideal’ and familiarity with one another’s style is greatly in evidence in their critically acclaimed performances. 

Here teaming up with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and its music director, Kazuki Yamada, they will play their part in a mouthwatering programme that features Poulenc’s Concerto For Two Pianos, Prokofiev’s First Symphony and Schubert’s ninth. 

Turkish composer Fazıl Say’s Night - a fast, funky and furious work especially written for the Jussen Brothers - also features.
