  • Double trouble maybe? Brett and Eddy from TwoSet violin dropped by in October (the month of Esplanade's birthday) to borrow our Concert Hall for a spin on their Strads. While they were here, we got them to do a little ELI5.
    Hear how the Strads sound and how they compare here: • We Got Our Strads

    Because of TwoSet, I have renewed interest in the violin again. I played both violin and cello a while back; then family life happened and I had to put my playing aside. My husband saw how I had missed playing and gifted me with a violin for Christmas. I am quite content now; and will soon be receiving a cello within the next few months. Thank you so very much TwoSet, your videos have ignited a spark within me that sat dormant for too long. 🥰❤🥰❤

    I've been a Two Set fan from the beginning and I was thinking about why I find these cute guys so enjoyable to watch. Besides their clever and humorous take on classical music, I think their combination of contrasts make them interesting. For example, they are Asians but they have strong Australian accents; Brett is smaller in stature but has a deeper bass voice, while Eddy is taller with a tenor-sounding voice; they act goofy but are talented musicians and deeply respectful of each other; and last but not least, they make fun of themselves in comparison to major stars like Hilary Hahn and Ray Chen but include these stars in their pranks. I never get bored watching and listening to them.
