The Fox Theatre presents The Piano Guys on Thursday, March 10, at 7:30 p.m. "What do you get when you mix up a marketing genius that does video, a studio engineer that writes music, a pianist that had a successful solo career, and a cellist that does pretty much everything? The Piano Guys: a miraculous meeting of "guys" with the same intrinsic purpose – to make a positive impact in the lives of people all over the world through music videos. Hailing from Utah, The Piano Guys became an Internet sensation by way of their immensely successful series of strikingly original self-made music videos. They've made over 35 since joining forces in early 2011, including their hit video, an innovative 10-handed version of One Direction's 'What Makes You Beautiful.'" But it's the Guys' highly original blend of classical music with pop that has really been the cause of their Internet phenomenon. The Fox Theatre is on North Grand in Grand Center.
