The dynamic duo TwoSet Violin, which has been taking the classical music world by storm, is gearing up to bring their viral talents to Davies Symphony Hall. On July 12 and 13, the internet sensation will join the venerable San Francisco Symphony with a fresh concoction of musical brilliance dubbed “Sacrilegious Games.” Straight from their world tour, the pair is set to deliver an interactive spectacle that's sure to defy the conventions of what a classical concert can be.
TwoSet Violin, also known as Brett Yang and Eddy Chen, started their quest to demystify classical music in 2013. Fast forward a dozen years, they boast an impressive digital footprint with over 9.5 million followers and more than 1.5 billion views across platforms. Amidst their rise to fame, they have been lauded for their authenticity and humor, which they not only hope but also manage to make classical music more approachable to a broader audience. Fans eager to catch their performance can snag tickets starting from a modest $30, and according to the San Francisco Symphony's release, sales are set to begin on March 26 at 8 am PT.
The popularity of TwoSet Violin extends well beyond their YouTube fame. They've sold out venues like the Berlin Philharmonie and Sydney Opera House and rubbed shoulders with industry giants such as Hilary Hahn and Lang Lang. The "Sacrilegious Games" show promises to pair their infectious brand of entertainment with the high-caliber musicianship of the San Francisco Symphony. It's performances like these that hope to continue bridging the gap between the grand world of classical music and modern-day audiences.
For TwoSet aficionados or those simply looking to get first dibs on a seat, the team took to Instagram to alert their fans: "We hope you’re ready for a crazy concert! Official dates are out for our North America Tour!" The post also reveals an exclusive pre-sale date of March 25, where followers can access tickets before the general public by signing up for a pre-sale code.
