The group said that working with Disney ” was a dream come true for us. We felt immersed in magic. And to simultaneously pay tribute to the master musician James Horner was also a humbling opportunity.”
“Inspired by Disney’s innately limitless creativity, we included some creative elements of our own that we’ve never before attempted, including the first ever ‘bioluminescent’ cello and piano keyboard! We felt we were experiencing ‘Avatar in real life’ as we performed Mr. Horner’s theme in front of the majestic floating mountains and bathed in the light of Pandora’s bioluminescence. It was an experience unlike any other and we hope people who watch and listen feel the same spirit of boundless imagination we felt as played,” the group said in a statement they released.
The Piano Guys, made up of Steven Sharp Nelson, Jon Schmidt, Al Van der Beek and Paul Anderson came on the scene in 2011 on YouTube and have since released five studio records, two Christmas releases, and a fan favorite live album, and have tallied 2 billion-plus global streams, clocked upwards of 1.7 billion YouTube views, earned six No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Top Classical Albums Chart and have sold out concerts in almost every corner of the world.
Here’s where you can see them live.
