The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra is bringing twice the talent to the Orpheum Theatre on March 31 and April 1 at 8 pm with fraternal piano duo Lucas and Arthur Jussen, as part of the VSO’s Assante Masterworks Diamond Series.

The performances will reunite the Edison Klassiek award-winning brothers with VSO music director Otto Tausk for the first time since his inaugural concert in September 2018.

On the lineup for the 90-minute show is Felix Mendelssohn’s dazzling Concerto for Two Pianos in E Major. Plus, VSO musicians will transport listeners to a voyage down Europe’s Rhine river with Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 3; and will further delight with Linda Catlin Smith’s Nuages, a musical depiction which the New York-born, Toronto-based composer describes as “a quiet lushness, as in the weaving of light and shade in an overgrown garden.”

Tausk and the Jussen brothers will also be hosting a relaxed conversation with guests on March 30 from 5-6 pm at VSO School of Music’s Pyatt Hall.

Tickets for the performance and conversation are available at the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
