Get ready for sparks to fly! When piano duo Lucas and Arthur Jussen join forces with top percussionists Alexej Gerassimez and Emil Kuyumcuyan, it’s a recipe for rhythmic fireworks.
Having toured together before, the four musicians are a perfectly attuned team whose fearless experimentation, razor-sharp timing and dazzling virtuosity promise a thrilling display of pianistic and percussive brilliance. The programme includes both original works for this unique line-up – including pieces by Steve Reich – and electrifying arrangements of repertoire classics like Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.
