they’ve literally achieved so much. the bare idea that half a decade ago they were doing youtube for fun and now they’ve managed to play along side hilary freaking hahn. tears rn

[LollyDolly]

Checking into a small hotel in a small town in Indiana, I ask if it's OK that I play my cello in the room. The lady at the desk responds, "You have to get your 40 hours." At this point, who doesn't know 2Set?

[lu-cipher]

I love Brett and Eddy's humbleness level and how they didn't think people would know who they were at Hilary's concert. Which of course was quickly proven wrong because EVERYONE LOVES THEM 💘

[Peraou]

I WAS AT THE CONCERT!!!! and let me tell you there was NO*** worry that people wouldn't recognise you lmao Everyone (including me) went CRAZY when you walked out haha it was some of the loudest applause I've ever heard in the Opera House!!! And your encore sounded so amazing as well, I was sitting a bit closer and I really got to appreciate the musicality up close and it was just awesome. It's so funny, as I was entering the concert hall, I was chatting with a staff member who told me 'the Twoset boys were here yesterday signing some things' (so I thought your insta post was just visiting to watch Hilary the day before) and I was SO disappointed that I missed you.... but that was *totally* flipped when I saw you two walk onstage after the concerto!! it was the surprise of a lifetime. Huge congratulations, it was genuinely one of the best things ever !!!

PS when I was watching your videos back in Canada, and when I booked tickets to see Hilary even before I moved to Syd this past January, I *never* thought I would be so lucky as to see all three of you perform together live!!!! It was the coincidence of all coincidences that the concert I booked almost 8 months earlier would be the exact show you came to perform as well! Absolutely made my year haha ^_^

I wonder what 5 years ago Brett would have say after leaving his job at the SSO, if he knew him and his best friend would be invited to play an encore with Hilary Hahn herself, right on the spot, how epic. Congrats again Brett&Eddy 👏👏👏🎻

I was literally screaming abt twoset idea of opening bubble tea shop, let's make it happen!
I'm so proud of you guys, the achievements are absolutely incredible!

[AAbshier]

They played the trio with Hilary after one rehearsal. ONE---and they played brilliantly. I liked the anecdote about how deeply knowledgable Hilary is about the music of Dvorak. Looking forward to visiting you in the bubble tea shop!

You know, I only know of Hilary Hahn because of TwoSet. Thanks guys for encouraging the discovery of classical music in such a fun way!!

[simplytwosetter]

I'm so amazed by all the connections that Twoset have! They personally know and get along well with so many world-class soloists. They have Shaun who is awesome at making pop music, that's why Duh Duh Duh Dum is such a hit. And Brett mentioned that he knew this director who is in London, and that's how they get the sheet music for the awesome Dvorak piece. And they are going to use two Strad from Tarisio which is located in the States. These two are, unbelievably awesome! These things all work out because they are awesome violinists themselves and also because they are good people who are making a positive impact to the world. Just like Hilary said, they worked so hard, they earned it! I respect these two so much omg...

[dsebbebridge]

You guys should find your childhood violin teachers and show them how good you are now!

[ieeerr.]

“We need to get back on stage soon.”
Yes, you absolutely do. And not just for the Mendelssohn. 🙌🏼🥰

[carolhayes]

That was so touching that Brett didn't think anyone would know who they were coming out for an encore with Hilary. I heard lots of people being excited that it was "Brett and Eddy!"

05:28 congratulations to Thomas for getting into the Gheorghe Dima Music Academy in Romania. Dima was a Romanian composer (1847-1925).

[commontater]

The journey from Pachelbel's Chicken to onstage with Hilary Hahn.
Incredible.

[ViolinHobby]

TwoSet's entertaining conversations of various topics + collaboration with the Queen of violin, Hillary Hahn. No one does it better than Brett and Eddy!!!

The encore was such a treat. We got to enjoy Twoset, Hilary AND Dvorak. Triple threat! This old lady really loves you guys. Edit: I'm the old lady not Hilary :)

[donnalee_music]

I went to the concert and everyone was cheering like crazy, so grateful and happy to have the opportunity to see all three amazing violinists performing together

I spat out my bubbe tea when Eddy started "If this video gets..."

Edit: They do realise that 80k likes is not much of a barrier in the long run? I guess they really want to do it. Omg, I'm already jealous of the people in whichever city they pick for it (Singapore, I imagine).

TwoSet's contribution to spreading love for classical music is unparalleled. You guys are truly inspiring.
