  • Brett: I can't do it, no!!

  • Oh no, it's gonna be so...!

  • - Dude, I'm actually nervous now. - I'm actually nervous, don't say that!

  • - I didn't think about it until now. - Yeah.

  • Can you turn the page for me?

  • - Huh? - Turn the page.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Are you guys enjoying it, by the way?

  • Wow, thank you!

  • Just so you know, Eddy's playing multiple parts right now.

  • Wow, hello.

  • That was so much pressure.

  • Oh, my god.

  • Dude, too many page turns.

  • That was the first movement, guys.

  • Bit of a rough... start.

  • Are we still here? Oh, they're still here!

  • - Holy... - Wow, 43 thousand!

  • - Okay! - They're clapping

  • in between the movements, but it's okay,

  • - 'cause it's a silent clap on live stream. - Oh yeah, so we don't hear it!

  • - Ohh, that works so well! - So we appreciate it, thank you, thank you!

  • Oh my god.

  • Alright.

  • Okay.

  • This is the second movement.

  • Canzonetta.

  • Wait. My shoulder rest dropped.

  • - Relatable. - Yeah!

  • All good.

  • Oh my god.

  • - Whoo! - Well, that was something new.

  • - Whoo...! - Okay. Gotta bow.

  • - Whoo! - You have to bow as well.

  • - Whoo! - Look at all the hair you've lost!

  • Whoo, that's the tutti!

  • We lost a lot of hair.

  • Soloist!

  • - Soloist. - Oh, thank you!

  • - Whoo! - I apologize for the memory slips!

  • Apologize for...

  • High pressure!

  • Wow, 39 thousand people watched the entire concerto!

  • - I was trying so hard not to think of that. - That's crazy. Yeah?

  • I was like, "Oh my god."

  • "This is so epic."

  • "So cool."

  • I was trying so hard not to think about

  • the out of tune note I played before your cadenza.

  • - Oh, that... Nah... - In the first movement.

  • - I completely messed that up. - Dude, I messed so many things up.

  • - But, uh... - Wow, everyone's clapping!

  • Thank you!

  • - Wow. There's a lot of claps. - Yay...

  • Look at those donations, that's...

  • - Wow... - Oh, they even got emojis!

  • - Dude, there's like... - Dude, I'm sweating!

  • - Same, same. - I'm pouring!

  • Duck emojis.

  • - Wow, thank you guys! - Dude, that was so fun!

  • Oh, I guess I should take a bow.

  • Yeah, together.

  • (both) Yeah!

  • Did they just clap?

  • I think our neighbors just clapped.

  • That's so funny.

  • Yay...!

  • Someone said it's 4 AM.

  • Wow, thank you for joining us on the ride.

  • - Wow. - For the ride.

  • I hope...

  • we didn't disappoint.

  • Someone said "encore!"

  • Nah, no...

  • Brett: Encore??

  • (both) Oh no, no...

  • - Encore, encore! - Oh, no...!

  • - Oh no, no... - Maybe.

  • Maybe I'll do an encore.

  • Actually, I haven't prepared one, but...

  • - Could cook up something. - Yeah, we didn't...

  • Well, what could we cook up?

  • Tchaikovsky again.

  • LOL, jokes!

  • But I do think I would play it better the second time.

  • Oh, really?

  • - Yeah. - Ooh...

  • Now I'm kind of more calm, but I'm not doing that again.

  • - That's a big concerto, it's like 40 minutes. - But it was kind of, that was... scary.

  • I forgot like, how hard it was just to just,

  • power through it.

  • Yeah.

  • No, you did well.

  • - I think. - Thank you. I tried.

  • The first memory slip freaked me out.

  • - Oh, that was funny. - I thought, I thought...

  • - You went, you skipped to the second part. - I skipped, and that was...

  • And it's funny, because I never

  • have a memory slip in that part.

  • Oh wait, people are like, "Paganini encore."

  • - Pag 24! - No, I haven't played it in like, years! In months!

  • Okay.

  • Well...

  • What happens if we hit 40 thousand follows?

  • I mean, 40 thousand viewers? Nah.

  • Wow... Encore.

  • Wow.

  • So, guys...

  • Encore, okay.

  • I guess the Europeans are sleeping. *inaudible*

  • Yeah.

  • Thanks for all the donations!

  • - Thanks, everyone. - Thank you, for the live concert.

  • Live 2 mil stream celebration.

  • That's crazy, I never— I did not expect

  • 40 thousand...

  • - Streamers, hey? I mean, people watching this. - Audience, yeah. Audience of 40 thousand.

  • I was thinking, just...

  • Just a small audience that would show up.

  • - And just, kind of watch a bit. - I thought like... 2 thousand.

  • - Yeah. - 'Cause that's like, a...

  • whole concert hall.

  • - Yeah. In our mind, it's perspective, yeah... - So if you put that in perspective...

  • We just did 20 concert halls.

  • (both) That's crazy.

  • - Don't forget to check out, limited edition... - Oh yeah, the merch, guys!

  • This is limited as well.

  • - Oh, Eddy just said that. - A future where Tchaikovsky could be a pop icon.

  • - Pop art style. - Yeah.

  • Thanks to our team, actually,

  • - for doing this, and working on it together. - Yes.

  • All the designers,

  • everyone that worked so hard to make this happen.

  • - Yep. - And uh, yeah.

  • Very proud of them. So,

  • if you're on the team and you're watching...

  • - Thank you. - Thank you so much.

  • - Someone's like, "Navarra." - And...

  • Haven't done that in a while!

  • Oh yeah, if it's an encore, you should be playing with me.

  • - Oh, nah... - Oh yeah!

  • Alright, let's play, um...

  • The problem is we didn't prac—

  • prepare anything.

  • We were like, "Oh, the Tchaikovsky's enough

  • of a stress."

  • Yeah.

  • - I'll have to keep that in mind - That's funny.

  • for the 3 mil—

  • Wait, what? What?

  • - 3 mil... What? - What, what?

  • - No promises! - Yeah.

  • Well...

  • - What should we do? - Dude, people are already saying like, 3 mil.

  • - 3 million subs. - Navarra, Sibelius...

  • "Do the fastest Bumblebee!"

  • No thank you!

  • - Dude, that Tchaikovsky 3rd movement went really fast. - in 30 seconds.

  • I think I played it too fast.

  • - Yeah, it was really fast. - I freaked out.

  • I lost it.

  • Dude, that tutti was so fast.

  • Yeah.

  • See, that was a real good case example, guys,

  • of someone having performance nerves.

  • And then obviously playing

  • way too fast out of their own capabilities.

  • Is that something we can like...

  • - This is actually a demonstration of what happens - I don't know.

  • - the first time when you play. - Yeah.

  • - Oh man... - Thank you, thank you!

  • Thanks for the donations.

  • - Yeah. - I wish I could say all the names,

  • but it's going so fast.

  • - Let me try and catch some. - It is.

  • I just saw the word "intonation,"

  • - just popped up in front of- - Uggghhhh!!!

  • - That was- Ugh, my intonation was off! - Bumblebee, Sibelius...

  • - Oh my god, is that- - Navarra.

  • Thank you, thank you.

  • Encore, Canon in D, Saint-Saëns.

  • Bravo! Oh, I'm trying to-

  • There's donation people as well.

  • Oh yeah, thank you.

  • - Nava- - Thank you everyone that donated.

  • - Oh my god! That just flipped by. - Wow!

  • - It's a yellow one. - Montreal...

  • Oh! By the way, we are gonna be touring soon!

  • - Oh, we will be. - So...

  • 2020, hopefully we will be going to your city.

  • We're planning it out now.

  • As if they'll still come.

  • If you enjoy...

  • hearing...

  • this performance,

  • and want to hear more like this.

  • Look out for the posters.

  • Yeah.

  • That's our encore.

  • Okay, so...

  • "Thank you, Ling Ling."

  • "Oh, you're Ling Ling."

  • Whoa, I can't read them.

  • Can you imagine that?

  • A classical concert, a soloist finished his Tchaikovsky,

  • and the encore he plays Mii?

  • That would be so funny.

  • That would be so funny.

  • That would be the greatest thing.

  • So... okay, guys!

  • Head on over. Check out the shirt.

  • Also,

  • if you wanna follow our Instagram: twosetapparel,

  • that would be great as well.

  • Since we're all here.

  • Should we play something?

  • - I want to, but I don't want to... - Well... Oh, we haven't-

  • - like, we haven't really prepared something. - Yeah... we haven't prepared anything, really.

  • And it's gonna be like...

  • - I'm sweating like crazy. - Yeah.

  • - What? - Nah, nah.

  • I thought of something but I was like nah.

  • What? Like Bach?

  • No, like...

  • *inaudible*

  • - Oh, nah, nah, nah! That's too hard. - Too hard.

  • - We need to practice a bit more. - Alright.

  • - Well, that's it, guys! - Cool!

  • Thank you so much for joining us.

  • - I don't know what to say. It's just... - That's a-

  • - Yeah, thank you so much. - It's just crazy.

  • I think...

  • when we first started...

  • I don't think we ever would have thought

  • that we'll once be playing Tchaikovsky

  • for 40,000 people,

  • or have 2 million subs.

  • Yeah, I thought that day was like...

  • Or to even know that there's such a

  • big community out there that...

  • is willing to like...

  • that appreciates the spirit of classical music.

  • Mhm.

  • Because... you know...

  • studying music in...

  • Brisbane,

  • in a small conservatory,

  • and it was like a small little uni.

  • We were like segregated from all other uni kids, so...

  • we thought it was just like us little- like, music kids.

  • - But now seeing this like... - Yeah...

  • 2 million subscribers all around the world.

  • And people that don't necessary learn an instrument,

  • but still...

  • watch us and listen to classical music

  • and support what we do

  • has just been absolutely amazing.

  • I think...

  • I... I think today's...

  • performance...

  • is...

  • probably, if anything...

  • tribute to- I don't know. Not a tri-

  • but like, it's reflective of how amazing you guys are.

  • - Really. - Yeah.

  • - I mean... - It's the coolest community.

  • So- like... Dude, when we started,

  • we never thought we would actually...

  • Yeah.

  • have such a...

  • or even...

  • We never thought people would watch us.

  • - Yeah. - Like we just made a few videos.

  • And...

  • had a bit of fun of it.

  • Yeah, we're just two...

  • freaking kids that...

  • - play violin, like... - Yeah, like...

  • We're not-

  • ...struggled to play in tune.

  • - Yeah. - What's really amazing is...

  • you guys, collectively, I think.

  • Yeah.

  • And I think that is...

  • We were- I don't know. It's just so cool.

  • I don't know what to say.

  • - I'm really awkward with these things. - I don't know what to say either.

  • It's like I'm looking at...

  • There's a lot of people watching now

  • from all over the world.

  • Yeah...

  • on planet earth, streaming.

  • And here we are.

  • just...

  • "Ling Ling 40 Hours!"

  • Yeah.

  • Someone's like "Do Ysaÿe as an encore."

  • AHH!!

  • Well, I did learn the Ysaÿe's 3rd Sonata,

  • like, to a really decent standard, I could say.

  • But it's been a long time since I've played that piece.

  • Yeah.

  • It's been a long time since...

  • we've really churned through.

  • Yeah.

  • any...

  • thing.

  • Yeah.

  • I think it's good!

  • I think... it's good practice as well.

  • And also like...

  • really just um...

  • like...

  • impressed that the...

  • I mean, I don't really watch that many live streams,

  • but I was impressed that

  • 39,000 people out of like 40,

  • stuck through the entire concerto online.

  • That blew my mind.

  • I thought everyone was gonna leave!

  • - Yeah, I thought people would leave after like... - I just thought everyone was gonna leave.

  • the first movement.

  • I literally thought everyone was just going to...

  • leave straight away.

  • Well, 'cause it's on a computer,

  • - Yeah. - there's so many distractions.

  • There's so many other things

  • that they could be watching.

  • Yeah.

  • And yet,

  • you guys watched us for 40 minutes-

  • Oh, 50 minutes now.

  • - I can't believe it. - It's crazy.

  • I reckon my, like...

  • The start was so like...

  • - I was actually quite nervous. - ...nervous.

  • I was so nervous.

  • I was so nervous of myself,

  • and then everything just became like...

  • I just thought

  • "Okay, that's it. Everyone's leaving."

  • - Yeah. - I was like "That's it."

  • "Everyone's leaving!"

  • "Hold it together, Brett!"

  • I was like

  • - "I hope Hilary Hahn isn't actually tuning into this." - Oh no...

  • She... oh no...

  • Someone said "Play Despacito."

  • "Kachikawawa 40-"

  • We can't play Despacito...

  • - Yeah. - 'cause we'll get copystriked.

  • That's true.

  • That's so true.

  • Guys, um...

  • I don't know what to say.

  • Obviously, this started as a joke,

  • became an actual thing.

  • - It became an ACTUAL thing! That's so fun- - You put it on me!

  • I was like "Oh, it would be funny if we just like,

  • 'drop' the Tchaikovsky."

  • No, and everyone is really expecting it, so...

  • It became- yeah.

  • Well,

  • - Thank you, guys, for... - Yeah, thank you for making us-

  • - pushing us to do something like this. - Yeah. Yeah.

  • We gotta keep doing it.

  • Keep practicing.

  • Yeah!

  • I mean...

  • There's still...

  • Why are you guys still here watching us?

  • - I... I can't- - Yeah.

  • Anyway, we should probably end the stream.

  • Alright.

  • - Once again- - So they can go practice.

  • Yeah, so you guys can go practice.

  • Mhm.

  • And... I think...

  • I'm just trying to like...

  • excuse myself out of it.

  • But this live stream is a good example

  • as if you do a performance,

  • and things go wrong,

  • it's okay.

  • It's fine!

  • - It's fine. - Dude, honestly, I don't even remember it.

  • - It's just a little bit- - Yeah, I'm like...

  • It's hard!

  • - Yeah. - 'Cause you spent your whole life practicing,

  • and on the stage, you wanna do well.

  • - Yeah. - But I think...

  • Yeah.

  • Obviously, we'll definitely try to improve more.

  • Yup.

  • We're gonna start practicing for 3 mil.

  • - Yeah. - I mean...

  • - I mean, 4, 5, I mean, what? - I mean, what, what?

  • - 4, 5, what, what? I don't know. - Yeah.
