Conductor

Jérémie Rhorer

Jérémie Rhorer is one of the most versatile and intellectually challenging conductors of his generation. As founder and musical director of the orchestra Le Cercle de l’Harmonie, this French conductor is continuing artist-innovator tradition through his exploration of 18th and 19th century repertoire performed on historical instruments. He is also a renowned composer and winner of the Prix Pierre Cardin. For more than ten years, Jérémie Rhorer has developed a close relationship with the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris, where he has conducted a wide range of standard, rarely performed and contemporary operas. Rhorer has also conducted major international orchestras such as the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, the Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Orchestre de Paris and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.

As a sought-after opera conductor, he has also conducted productions at the Wiener and Bayerische Staatsoper, the Teatro Real in Madrid and the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma and is regularly invited to Europe’s most prestigious festivals. Highlights of the current season include his debuts with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Bordeaux-Aquitaine and at Zürich Opera House with a new production of Offenbach’s rare opera ›Barkouff‹. In recent years, Rhorer and Le Cercle de l’Harmonie have initiated an innovative residency at the Grand Théâtre de Provence in Aix-en-Provence with an educational programme for new audiences. Jérémie Rhorer has been a regular guest at The Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen for years. Together they are currently working on a special Tchaikovsky cycle, which will be presented on tour in Germany and Europe this year and in the coming years.

Piano duo

Lucas and Arthur Jussen

»It’s like driving two BMWs at the same time,« said conductor Michael Schønwandt after conducting the two Dutch brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen. Notwithstanding their young age, these two pianists – 29 and 25 years old – have been an international sensation creating enthusiasm for some time. As children they performed before The Netherlands‘ Queen Beatrix and in 2005 they were invited by Portuguese concert pianist Maria João Pires to study in Portugal and Brazil. Lucas completed his training with Menahem Pressler in the USA and with Dmitri Bashkirov in Madrid. Arthur completed his studies with Jan Wijn at the Amsterdam Conservatory.

The brothers now work with orchestras such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Philadelphia Orchestra, the Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the Symphony Orchestras in Montréal, Sydney, Singapore and Shanghai. They also perform under renowned conductors such as Christoph Eschenbach, Valery Gergiev, Manfred Honeck, Andris Nelsons, Jukka-Pekka Saraste and Jaap van Zweden. During the 2021/2022 season, these musicians are performing as ›Artists in Residence‹ at the Konzerthaus Berlin. In addition, they will be giving concerts in many European cities and at renowned festivals such as the Klavierfestival Ruhr, the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival, the Kissinger Sommer and the Schubertiade. These two pianists are making their debut with the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen.
