TwoSet Violin returns with a new name... I'm Bach

The Reinvention of TwoSet Violin: From Classical Comedy to B²TSM

Change is in the air for Brett Yang and Eddy Chen, the internet's favorite classical music comedians formerly known as TwoSet Violin. In a move that left fans reeling, the duo announced they were retiring their bows in October after 11 years of entertaining audiences with their uniquely relatable blend of classical music and humor. But their story doesn’t end there.

In a cryptic teaser released on December 3, the duo unveiled their next act: B²TSM. Styled as a parody of a K-pop group, B²TSM—short for Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, and Mozart—signals a bold new direction. This isn’t just a name change; it’s a creative evolution.

A Mysterious Teaser Sparks Intrigue

The teaser video, titled "B²TSM – 'I’m Bach' Official Teaser," features Eddy Chen dressed as J.S. Bach, complete with a powdered wig and dramatic flair. In a setting that looks remarkably like St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, Bach’s historical stomping ground, Chen handles a miniature time machine marked "Travel to Year 2024." His cryptic declaration—“B²TSM… J.S. Bach”—has left fans buzzing with speculation.

The teaser hints at a playful reimagining of classical music, blending its timeless grandeur with TwoSet’s characteristic humor. The duo’s first foray into B²TSM territory came back in 2022 with the debut single "Duh Duh Duh Dum," a riff on Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. It seems their passion for merging classical music with modern creativity hasn’t waned but instead found a new stage.

A Farewell or a Fresh Start?

When TwoSet Violin announced their hiatus, it wasn’t just a goodbye—it was a transformation. Fans were shocked to see their most iconic videos disappear from YouTube, leaving only a handful, including a tribute to J.S. Bach titled "Why Bach is the GOAT composer." The breadcrumbs were there all along, hinting at their next chapter.

With the duo poised to launch this new venture, fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement promised for December 5. Will B²TSM bring more parody music, theatrical sketches, or something completely unexpected? Knowing Brett and Eddy, the possibilities are endless.
