The UNLV Performing Arts Center welcomes 2CELLOS -- Croatians Luke Sulic and Stjepan Hauser -- at 8 p.m, Saturday, Mar. 7.
Breaking down boundaries between classical and popular music, the duo is equally impressive performing Bach and Vivaldi as rocking out to AC/DC. 2CELLOS' CD, In2ition, rose to No. 4 on the Billboard classical albums chart.
Despite their huge online following, where they continue to amaze with new YouTube hits, 2CELLOS' main focus and dedication has always been playing live. In addition to many sold-out solo tours (U.S., Japan, Australia, Europe), the duo has also appeared on major TV shows such as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Ellen DeGeneres Show (multiple times) and many others.
2CELLOS were also the first instrumental act to ever perform on the hugely popular TV series GLEE, where they appeared as special guests in the Michael Jackson tribute episode, performing "Smooth Criminal." The 2CELLOS' arrangement of the song, which featured Naya Rivera, debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Digital Songs Chart and landed the 2CELLOS' debut album in the Top 100.
