Introducing the classical comedy duo “Igudesman and Joo”

This comedy duo from Great Britain combines their incredible concert musician skills with a sense of humor, creating an amazing and impressive routine that makes classical music more accessible to audiences while entertaining the heck out of them.  This video is just an exceptional, amazing performance that personally makes me (Charissa) so happy!  Please make sure to watch it to the end because each segment gets bigger and more ridiculous.  Just when you think they can’t top themselves, they do!

Richard Hyung-ki Joo (pianist) and Aleksey Igudesman (violinist) worked together to create their show, “A Little Nightmare Music,” which had an American debut in 2009. “We always had a dream to make classical music accessible to a wider and younger audience, to take out the snobbism and elitism, and to create an environment where people are not afraid to go to concerts,” Joo says. “We were also fascinated by humor or theater within music, and we realized that (comedy in the concert hall) was an art form that doesn’t exist in the dictionary but certainly works.”
