The Piano Guys at State Theatre New Jersey

The Piano Guys became an internet sensation by way of their immensely successful series of strikingly original self-made music videos which have garnered over 1.6 billion YouTube views. Its the Guys highly original blend of classical music with pop that has made them an internet phenomenon. Theyve made over 65 videos since joining forces in early 2011, including their biggest hit, an innovative 10-handed version of One Directions What Makes You Beautiful. Code Name Vivaldi blends The Bourne Identity soundtrack riff with a similarly intense Vivaldi cello concerto in a breathless video culminating with Schmidt and Nelson performing on a flatcar on a high-speed train. Titanium/Pavane is a mash-up of French classical composer Gabriel Faurs Pavane with David Guettas Titanium. The Piano Guys are Jon Schmidt (pianist, songwriter), Steven Sharp Nelson (cellist, songwriter), Paul Anderson (producer, videographer), and Al van der Beek (music producer, songwriter). The Piano Guys have released five studio albums, two Christmas releases, and a fan-favorite live album, earning six No. 1 debuts on Billboards Top Classical Albums chart. Joining The Piano Guys for this performance will be musicians from the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey.
