Twoset World Tour Tracker

We assembled a spreadsheet to document the differences between world tour shows! It can be viewed on Google Docs by clicking on THIS LINK. (Spoiler alert! That spreadsheet is spoiler central.)

If you went to a show and want to contribute, feel free to do so HERE! This is by all means a collaborative project and the more people we have sharing their experiences, the more detailed this little project becomes <3

"what did you?..."

"it's only fair, Eddy."

it's funny how once you spend enough time engaging with Finnish culture the spirit of Torille will eventually possess you also

I was at a concert tonight where people were showing their support for various violin concertos via applause, and when Sibelius' name was mentioned my soul briefly left my body to be replaced by civic pride for a country I'm not even a citizen of

Hi, this is a couple of pictures and things I remember from Twoset Violin's Helsinki meet & greet and Q&A on 15th June 2023.

I asked them to sign my music stand bag that I made, and Eddy said "that is one cool bag" and me and Brett commiserated on how flimsy the original bags are. 😁

I wish I had to talked with them more, but I was totally overwhelmed and way too excited to think. The next day I realised I could've actually told them what is obvious to me but I could've told them too: that they influenced me to practice more, which in turn has made me a better singer in my choir, and I could've thanked them for it. *facepalm* Now it probably looked like I was just in it for the autographs, argh. Well, they’ve probably met hundreds of people just as awkward as me, so probably no big harm done.

Eddy’s skin looks actually so good compared to some years ago, I don’t know what his secret is but looking good! They both look the same as on Youtube, but I noticed they sort of look more slender and lightly built in 3D. (I just realised if Brett looked thin and pale on camera when he was ill, how freaking thin was he in real life?? Oh lord. Poor Brett.)

The Q&A was fun but so short, I think I could’ve just sat with them for an hour more. Some of the questions were very huge and all-encompassing like “what is creativity” and so were the answers, so I can’t remember everything, but here is what I do remember!

Brett was marvelling at how light it was in Helsinki even 10:45 pm, and even after that it doesn’t get really dark, like how do you even deal with that (with blackout curtains, Brett) and we were like “yeah we know! 😃” and he was like “haha I’m totally telling on myself”.

Another question was about their first musical memories. Eddy laughed that his memory isn’t the best but perhaps the first music lessons in New Zealand, and Brett told us that his mother would put on classical music to play for him when he was going to sleep. Aww.

Someone asked them about Tiger moms, and Eddy told us that when he was in high school, on a scale of 1-10 his mom was like an 8.2, but now it’s more like 3.8 so she’s mellowed out and she’s ”lovely”. In high school Eddy would’ve wanted to go to a sleepover with friends, and his mom would be like ”No” and when he tried to go like ”But but friends, social life” (this got laughs from the audience) his mom would be like ”what do you need that for, you’re here to study and do well” or something (more laughs). Brett said his mom was something like 5-6 on that scale, but very ”nosy”, always asking where he’s going and with who, and he laughed that she still keeps asking to this day. ”I’m going out – with who – with Eddy – Eddy who – Chen – where’re you going” etc.

Twoset came across as very genuine. Exactly the same in real life as on Youtube, it feels like they are not pretending to be anything, they seem to be very honestly who they are. Maybe they have Youtube personas which they’re wearing as naturally as second skin, but it seems to be a very comfortable fit and not a forced one. They just earnestly want to do their thing and I love that for them! ❤️

I don't want to spoil the concert plot for anyone so I won't be saying much about it, but it's a lot of fun, just you wait, get tickets if you can!

Helsinki exploded with applause, gave them standing ovation and I feel like that night will be one of my best memories for a looong time.

the way they're looking at eachother and smiling in utter disbelief like "yes we've actually made it this is real" IM SOBBING

Twosetviolin tour highlights!

*spoilers under the break*

Sophie playing the Mephisto Waltz was such a solid interpretation! There were a lot of things that I agreed with and a lot of things that were really interesting choices, it was really cool to watch. The build to the climax was MAGNIFICENT though

2set charades!!! Was so fun to see again

REUBEN TOZER-LOFT PIECE MY GOD!!!

All the copystrike jokes were amazing but "why does this seem so familiar" was very funny

HULA HOOPS

Czardas was genuinely incredible. I can't believe they did so well

In general I loved all the bits where they broke character but especially when they kept laughing and trying to touch each other in Czardas

The roasting was so fun. I love their dynamic so much

"you know what they say about chamber music. You need music. I don't know the piece" just something so genuine about the way he said it

SOPHIE VIOLIN OMG

SPIDERMAN MEME

"piano is so much better" I love her

I can't believe that their playing concertos is the worst part of the concert for them. Everything else is so much more insane than this omg

Clair de Lune was so emotional genuinely. I felt genuine melancholy when they played it

PASSAGALIA

That copystrike recover at the end was genius. Fucking amazing.

"That threw me off I forgot my line" I love them

NAVARRA AS THEIR ENCORE OMG. I SO WANTED THEM TO PLAY IT IT IS THEIR PIECE. IT IS THE DUET EVER

[airenyah]

rewatching the 2mil tchaicovsky stream now and it's just hilarious to see the difference

like. them just talking while the other is playing, brett yelling in dispair trying to get through a difficult passage, them cracking up at the balloons falling, eddy being silly with the balloons in the background, etc.....

compare with how super professional that 4mil stream was today, in an actual concert hall, with an actual orchestra, in front of an actual audience, on actual!! stradivari violins!!!!

pls i'm so proud :')
