Opening Ceremony

The Opening Ceremony will be held at the RAI International Exhibition and Congress Centre.

We are pleased to invite you to a performance of two of the Netherlands most outstanding young musicians. At the Opening Ceremony the Charamis Medal will be awarded to Mr Richard Collin.

Lucas Jussen (15) Arthur Jussen (11) both started to play piano when they were 5 years old. Already three years later they both started to win first prizes at prestigious piano competitions.

The Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant wrote: “The two little Jussen brothers are, if we are to believe Pires, the most gifted pianists in the world”.

Pires stands for the legendary Portuguese pianist Maria João Pires, who has been their teacher now for quite some time, and who, according to the Volkskrant, “will give back to the Netherlands two masterpianists”. The Jussen boys are frequently invited to play with the best Dutch orchestra’s. In the season 2009-10 they will make their first appearance with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. The two young pianists will surprise us with their latest repertoire.

Programme is still to be decided.
