The Piano Guys

Jan 22

Microsoft Theater

The Piano Guys have revolutionized the world of instrumental music. Most people think of instrumental music and their minds fill with thoughts of classical songs or holiday ballads, but The Piano Guys have turned the genre into a contemporary sensation (though they do Christmas music extremely well too). Music is their passion, and they started the group out of a true love for creating. They began their amazing adventure by uploading weekly videos to YouTube several years ago, transforming popular favorites with pianos and cellos. Since 2010 their popularity has grown tremendously, as has their fanbase. While you may know the songs they play, you’ll swear you’re hearing them for the first time when you hear the Piano Guys play. Their editions are pure magic and evoke a wide range of emotions in their listeners. And they’re even more hauntingly beautiful live. The group is made up of close friends, and their bond and passion for their music is clear to see as they interact together on stage. Watching them live gives you a better sense of who they are and how much this experience means to them. They genuinely put on a fun show! So, if you want to hear some of you all-time favorite songs in a new and enchanting way, this show is a must see!
