How @twosetviolin is shaking up classical music | Brett Yang + Eddy Chen | Australian Story

It’s not as though Brett Yang and Eddy Chen planned to turn their act, @twosetviolin, into a global disruptor of classical music.

They barely had a plan at all.

But when they threw in their coveted jobs as violinists with two of Australia’s leading orchestras in late 2016, they knew they wanted to do classical music differently.

Blending their impressive performance talents with comedy, the pair began to make videos for YouTube, inspired by their experiences of the highs and lows of life as a musician.

They’ve now amassed millions of social media fans, are playing sellout concerts around the world and bringing new audiences to classical music.

Can confirm one of the trickiest parts of choosing YouTube as a career was convincing Mom that you're not throwing your life away

Hilary hit the nail on the head on why Eddy and Brett are able to connect with their audience. You can't break the rules if you don't have a complete understanding of the fundamentals. They are both so naturally funny, sometimes you forget that they are both so extremely talented. Twoset's dedication and passion for classical music is just incredible. As a kid who played piano, my love of classical music has been fully reignited in part by Brett and Eddy. I can't thank the two of them enough.

How beautiful. I have followed Brett and Eddy for years and I am so pleased that the ABC featured them in Australian story. Both of them have had health setbacks and we fans have supported them through this. May they prosper and we will continue to hunger for their brilliance. Well done, two Lovely Australian Boys. TWOSET VIOLIN.

For decades I heard the same old mantra from the music industry: You can't get young people interested in classical music. Finally, Brett and Eddy came along. The rest is history. Bravo. PS: For those musicians out there offended by this post: I am well aware that Brett and Eddy are good, well trained and educated orchestra musicians but not on the exalted level of Hilary Hahn. They know it too. But they treat classical music with respect without being pretentious or condescending. That is what sets them apart from most classical music "popularizers".

As someone who has always had friends who were serious musicians, I think the appeal of Eddie and Brett is that they don’t hide their goofy personalities! They show a reality that’s not typically on display when classical music is performed. So millions of people view them as friends rather than just performers.

This was so nice to see. I’m 75 years old and only found classical music because of 2Set videos. I just fell in love with Violin Concertos. I saw Hillary Hahn on YouTube with those two guys and I found Hillary such a pleasant person I searched YouTube for her videos. Then I also found Janine Jansen. Classical music is part of my daily life. I’m basically bedridden and listen to Audiobooks. Hillary Hahn came to St Louis this year 2023. Checked that off my bucket list. I don’t watch TV or sports anymore. But all things SpaceX, Classical Music and Podcasts fill my day. Thanks to Eddy and Brett I love you guys. What lovely families you have. Oh and a beautiful sister. 😊

Loved the "not enough eye contact" story. It goes to show a lot of the "rules" of success are random - the richest person isn't always the smartest, the most successful performer isn't always the best, and so on. Good on Brett and Eddy on forging their own path.

I still find the Blackpink situation ridiculous. As a kpop fan who is also a violinist I find the Paganini video amazing and hilarious, appreciating both music cultures in a comedic is perfectly fine! TwoSet´s videos with Hilary are one of the reasons I decided to major in music, so finally knowing the whole story is somehow healing < 3

This documentary is so good but I can't stop laughing at the fact that Brett's dad said you have to be very good like America's got talent to earn money from music 😂 😂

Brett and Eddy always joke about just being “okay” violinists, but despite that they truly are magnificent and skilled musicians. But what’s even more of an amazing feat is the impact they have on the classical music community. I have heard so many times that classical music would eventually die as the younger generations wouldn’t care abt it. But Twoset is honestly one of the prominent figures who keep classical music alive among the youth. And it fills me w so much joy knowing lots of ppl got into classical music despite not being musicians because of them. That, for me, is somewhat even greater than simply being a great musician.

I was overjoyed, impressed and proud for Brett and Eddy to see an Australian Story episode about TwoSet Violin. These two men have worked so hard; it has been so very cool to watch their youtube journey, how they resonate with so many people all over the world.and their impact on bringing classical music out of the shadows for so many folk. Great job Eddy and Brett, thank you for sharing your talents and your humour.

Thanks for making this documentary!! This means a lot to us fans, and I believe to them as well. It's so nice to know a bit more about Brett and Eddy, not just through their own videos, but through the eyes of people who knew them well! Thank God they met each other and overcame all those hard times, and thank god they are surrounded by awesome people who love them. Their love and passion towards classical music really never changes after all these years (and it's contagious and touching!), and I believe that's their motivation to what they are doing now. I hope Twoset Violin can be a brand that lasts for a long time and let more young generations know the awesomeness of classical music. Thanks for bringing me back to classical music guys!

I teared up when they shared the stage with Hilary Hahn. That was unbelievable and really show that dreams you've given up sometimes come back to you in surprising ways.

I wish I had role models like twoset when I was learning the violin as a child, I would have continued my violin lessons. But since 3 years ago that I bumped into their videos on youtube, I have picked up my voilin after 20 years, and I have also signed up for piano lessons at the age of 35. thank you twoset and im so happy that your work is being recgonized!!!

A mother saying to her son: „you have to practice at least 30 minutes if you want to eat“ is harsh, I prefer what Rob Landes‘ mother used to say: „it is totally up to you. You only need to practice on the days you want to eat!“ Doesn‘t that sound nicer? 😂

I didn’t know my respect for them could grow any more, but knowing they spent 5 days busking and sleeping outside for their kickstarter was just another level of dedication.
