The two pianist brothers, Lucas & Arthur Jussen, certainly have a sense of humour. And plenty of talent! For over ten years, they have been delighting audiences as a piano duo with their light-as-a-feather playing, their joy in making music and their engaging manner. The most difficult passages seem effortless under their fingers, their sound so homogeneous that they appear to be a single person. In their recital, the brothers draw on the full breadth of their repertoire and its rich variety: delicate sounds in Johann Sebastian Bach's chorale arrangements and children's pieces by Gabriel Fauré, powerful virtuosity in Brahms and Lutosławski, rhythmically intricate and jazzy sounds in Hanna Kulenty's 'VAN …' and in Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. A perfect programme for a perfect evening!

Works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Gabriel Fauré, Johannes Brahms, Witold Lutosławski, Hanna Kulentys and George Gershwin.

'I love surprising people!' And people love her for it: Anna Lapwood bears little resemblance to the traditional image of an organist. Millions of people tune in to her Midnight Sessions from the Royal Albert Hall and celebrate her videos on TikTok or Instagram, where she talks enthusiastically about the seemingly limitless possibilities and pitfalls of her instrument. Pirates of the Caribbean on the organ? No problem for the petite British musician, who also makes it clear in her videos just what artistic feats are involved in organ playing – feats that normally take place hidden away in the organ loft. We are absolutely thrilled to be able to experience this exceptional musician live at the Beethovenhalle in Bonn!

The spectacular season finale of the new concert series at the Beethovenhalle, featuring Lang Lang on piano and Andris Nelsons conducting, presents two of the great master's most famous works: the heroic Fifth Piano Concerto and the Sixth Symphony, known as the 'Pastoral', the manuscript of which is held at the Beethoven-Haus. In 120 minutes of concert music, the full genius of Beethoven's art is on display: the magnificent symphonist who raised programme music to new heights with thunder, lightning and pastoral idylls, and the musician-philosopher who transformed his own real-life experiences of war and revolution into a timeless soundscape, thereby creating one of the most outstanding solo concertos for pianists.
