https://arthurandlucasjussen.com/en/homeAs part of our joint project “unerHÖRT”, Lucas and Arthur Jussen presented a concert to around 80 pupils from the 4th class of the secondary school Roterdstraße (Vienna) at the Schönberg-Saal of the Wiener Konzerthaus. Owing to their open and authentic approach, the artists – who performed piano pieces for four hands from their current repertoire – were enthusiastically received by the group of young people between the ages of 13 and 15. This unique experience provided them with an opportunity to listen to music they wouldn’t ordinarily come across. Following the concert, the young people asked the artists a series of personal and general questions that they had prepared in advance for the occasion. The Jussen brothers’ great virtuosity and musicality afforded these young people from one of Vienna’s outlying districts, where an awareness of classical music is less pronounced, a highly successful first encounter with this particular genre. Continuing with the project, the pupils were then asked to devise their own formats for young artists such as the Amatis Trio or Anaïs Gaudemard.
