 The young Dutch brothers - Lucas and Arthur Jussen - have been taking part in the international concert world for years. They come from a musical family: their mother teaches flute and father is a timpanist in the Dutch Radio Philharmonic Orchestra in Hilversum and a percussionist in the Ensemble Da Capo. Students of piano teacher Jan Wijn, the brothers regularly studied with Maria João Pires and played with the pianists Ricardo Castro and Lang Lang. In 2006, at the age of 10 and 13, they played the Piano Concerto No. 10 (Mozart) at Concertgebouw (Amsterdam) with the Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic under Jaap van Zweden. In 2009, they performed the Concerto for Two Pianos (Poulenc) with the same orchestra under Michael Schønwandt. The Jussen brothers signed a recording contract with the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft in 2010 and have recorded both the Mozart and Poulenc concertos as well as other duo and solo works. After two years studying at Menahem Pressler in the U.S. since October 2013, Lucas continues his education with Dmitri Bashkirov at Reina Sofia Music College in Madrid. He is also Artist in Residence of the Dutch Chamber Orchestra. Arthur studied at Conservatory of Amsterdam under Jan Wijn.

 Formed at the dawn of the millennium by six young Londoners with diverse musical roots, Oi Va Voi made an instant impact with their debut album "Laughter Through Tears." Musically, the band spearheaded a movement of Jewish musicians to bring cultural styles into contemporary songwriting. The band blended their heritage with an emphasis on modern pop sensibilities reflecting their own individual interests in indie rock and alt-folk and the urban dance music of the clubs of London. The band takes its name from a Yiddish-derived exclamation popular in modern Hebrew meaning, approximately, "Oh, my gosh!". Produced by Grammy award winners Bacon & Quarmby, their first album was a double winner at the BBC Radio 3 World Music awards and Dutch Edison Award winner. It was listed in The New York Times Top 10 albums of the year and launched the career of guest vocalist KT Tunstall. This November the band is coming to Moscow to present its new album.
