I have had a lot of set backs musically. Sometimes it was hard to practice knowing critics and instructors were never going to base my performance on my attitude towards music, but rather how I ranked with my peers. When I auditioned for university, I was told I had no future in music. It broke my heart. Watching Steven play reminded me how much music means to me and helped me regain confidence. His passion brought me back to music. I start my music degree in two days. Thank you Steven.

@XBandRoxX Thank you for this comment. Steven said it means a lot to him.

@BetsysView I am so happy to hear that. He deserves to know how much his love for music is shared and appreciated.

Just seeing his passion made me burst into tears, music doesn't get much better than this.

[NeronBoostingMusic]

wow such a great inspiration for all those kids to keep with it getting to play with one of the worlds greats

[sabbi001]

he shows emotions - he loves music - he loves playing the chello - he is compassioned for wat he does - he isn't afraid of showing how he feels in a moment -> thats a real man

love love and again love! I would love to play in orchestra , with Steve in solo. :-)))

[angelnblackrobe]

I love to watch how passionate he is when he plays. That is the one reason why I have always loved to watch people play an instrument. I love to see that passion as if they were right there in the notes makeing each note played visable to the listener. This is why I never stopped loving music. I still love to watch my husband play the violin and the bass when he gets the chance to cause I see that passion he shows just as Steven shows.

something about playing a string instrument lends itself to *epicface*... try looking so cool while playing a trumpet, I dare ya.

I myself am a Cello player and have been for a 2 years. I jumped from only taking Orchestra I to taking Orchestra III (from Middle school to highschool). My dream is to go to college and study to be a professional cellist and play in a symphony orchestra. I love the PianoGuys, i watched all of their videos and subscribed and just Seeing Steven play in every one of those videos just inspires me to take extra measures to improve on my performance and help me reach my dream. Thank You so much!!!!!

sería genial ver a este gran cellista en un concierto en Chile específicamente en el sur, en la décima región de los lagos ciudad de Frutillar, en el evento reconocido mundialmente como "SEMANAS MUSICALES DE FRUTILLAR" que se realiza en las fechas entre 27 de enero y 5 de febrero de cada año.

apuesto que sería un gran éxito...!!! te esperamos

[BeredZed]

I want to see more from this concert :-(

[Ilderfant]

What a great performance! This is the kind of passion for music that inspired me to pick up an instrument again. I'm a former bass player, but I'm having my first cello lesson later today. I'm very excited. :)
