Lucas and Arthur Jussen are always good for a surprise. After their acclaimed Heinersdorff debut in March 2024, the two will return to Düsseldorf in May 2026 with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and an astonishingly "classical" programme.
Mozart, Bach and Bach again: you can't really get more classical than that. And yet with the Jussens, nothing is as "well-behaved" as it seems. In the Tonhalle, they present two masterpieces that are not often found on concert programmes due to their unusual instrumentation: Mozart's Concerto in F major, originally composed for three pianos, and Bach's Concerto for two pianos in C major. Especially in the latter work, which the first Bach biographer said would also work "excellently" without an orchestra, the two pianistic high-flyers are sure to amaze us once again with their skills. So let us surprise you!
