Friday 21 September Lucas Jussen was the soloist at the Vrijdag van Vredenburg.
With the Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic under the direction of Frans Brüggen, he played Ludwig van Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto.
Just before the concert was broadcast, Thea Derks spoke with Lucas on how he felt about being presented as the ‘Jussen brothers’ time and again, about his love for Beethoven and his collaboration with Frans Brüggen.

During the break Thea Derks spoke with Frans Brüggen about his work with Lucas Jussen and Beethoven’s music. ‘If Beethoven had lived now, he would have been called John Cage.’
Listen here the entire broadcast (Lucas starts playing at 34’00”), or the individual interviews.
