The Piano Guys, one of YouTube’s most successful homegrown music channels, is singing a celebratory tune today, as the four Utah-based dads have surpassed a skyscraping milestone -- more than 1 billion lifetime views.
The group -- consisting of pianist Jon Schmidt, cellist Steven Sharp Nelson, videographer Paul Anderson, and studio engineer Al Van Der Beek -- launched their channel back in 2008, and today it counts a total of roughly 5 million subscribers and 60 uploads. The guys are best down for their sweeping instrumental covers of pop hits mashed up with classics. (One of their latest compositions, for instance, weaves together Mozart’s Lacrimosa and Adele’s Hello). And the music is complemented by equally epic videos -- set everywhere from Chichen Itza to the Scottish Highlands. The guys are currently endeavoring to film amidst each of The Seven Wonders of the World -- and have already checked four off of that list.

In their latest video on YouTube, the Piano Guys shared a simply mesmerizing mashup of Adele’s “Hello” and Mozart’s classic “Lacrimosa.” The group consists of Jon Schmidt, Steven Sharp Nelson, Paul Anderson, and Al van der Beek. “Chello from the other side!” they captioned the video in which they use cellos to cover the songs. Frankly, we love mash ups like this, especially when it comes to new twists on classical pieces. Also, don’t know when the lighted bow for string instruments became a thing (been seeing it a lot lately), but it is awesome. The new tagline for this
