TwoSet Violin, the hugely popular musical comedy duo, has announced the end of its creative output.
In a cryptic social media post, TwoSet Violin has announced their final post together.
Consisting of Australian violinists Brett Yang and Eddy Chen, the TwoSet Violin duo rose to fame through their highly engaging and entertaining YouTube videos that successfully brought classical music to new audiences.
On social media, the pair posted: ‘This will be the last piece of content we post as TwoSet Violin. It’s been a wild ride with you all for the last 11 years. We’ve all grown up together and it’s kinda surreal that we’re ending our chapter here.
“Thank you for all the laughs, the genuine encounters in real life and all the special moments we’ve had with you online and offline. Much love, Brett and Eddy.”
Fans across the world have reacted with shock to the news, with violin soloist Hilary Hahn leaving an online comment saying “so many congrats on a job well done! And thank you for everything you have done for the musical community. Not just classical! You guys rock.”
The comedy Instagram account “Lingling” also appeared to be in disbelief, posting that “I am also sad and confused about the situation.”
In November 2022, the duo achieved a milestone of four million YouTube subscribers. They marked this staggering achievement with a performance with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, for which the pair were loaned two 1708 Stradivari violins from the maker’s ‘Golden Period’.
Across their career, the musical pair have worked with star musicians from Lang Lang, to violinists Hilary Hahn, Janine Jansen and Maxim Vengerov.
This is a developing story and will continue to be updated.
