The bassoon has a lovely sound, it deserves to be heard more often. This young man is brilliant, what a beautiful tone he has. I think many kids will hear this and want to take up this instrument. You can see him having a career as a soloist and orchestral musician at the highest level.
Even if you didn’t play the bassoon, just watch the principal bassoonist in the orchestra. Her face says it all……..”darn your good”. Kevin I hope you are still playing.
when i first saw this i thought it was incredible because of the tone quality, phrasing, and breath control, but now i have a friend who is a bassonist and i understand how difficult it is to get those high notes sounding this immaculate. HUGE respect, this sounds amazing
Dear Kevin, congratulations on all your hard work since we worked together at NEMC. You've come so far, and I'm sure this is only the beginning. I'm so proud of you. All the best to you, your family, and your bassoon career!
I couldn't be prouder of all the hard work and commitment that you put into what you love to do Kevin! You are so inspiring! Your dedication has paid off. Keep up the amazing work. I feel honored and blessed to have been your teacher and to have called you my son :-) Cant wait to see what is next for you!
Absolutely amazing, Kevin! I am speechless, and you know how rare that is for me. Remember, when you perform at the Kennedy Center, you are required to reserve a seat for your old teacher. ;-)
It is amazing to see such a young talented musician to play a huge instrument so effortlessly . What a great control of air support ! I’m amazed at the beautiful tone he produced with this student model bassoon. I’m swept along by your poise and music. Keep it up!
Dude youve made it so far, that video sounded amazing. Its an honor to know you as my friend. I cant think of anyone else who has as much as talent as you!
Much respect from the twoset gang

Came here from TwoSet. Brilliant performance from Kevin but also props to the orchestra and conductor...they killed it!
Came here from TwoSet Violin. Nice!
Me too.
Same
I cannot understand how this video only has 8.5K views... this needs to go viral or at least 1MM 😅
who knew you could get such a beautiful sound out of a drainpipe

That first note being so perfectly clear and stable, wow 🤩
ling ling of bassoon :) great job!
Kevin is one of my best friends I hope he wins :)
Did he win
lies
Well? Did he?
What a talented musician.Can't believe it's performed by a 13 years old kid! Bravo!
Both the bassoons and the first oboe in the orchestra definitely understand how it's hard to achieve like him on the bassoon at his age.
Bravo, Kevin! What a polished performer you are! Congratulations!
Thank you, Mr. Stees. That means a lot to me!

There is nothing from him for this 6 years anywhere. Is he doing well? Is he continue studying music? Do we still have a chance to hear more from him?
Absolutely amazing, Kevin! I am speechless, and you know how rare that is for me. Remember, when you perform at the Kennedy Center, you are required to reserve a seat for your old teacher. ;-)
Kevin, I am amazed by your performance. I am very proud of you! May God bless you and your family abundantly!
This was five years ago. How is Kevin doing now?

sorry you r amazing
Whatever your doing, there’s always a child doing it better 😭 congrats though!
👏👏👏
wonder how it felt for the older bassoonists back there, that someone so much younger is a soloist
How old is this boy? Wow! He’s born to play the bassoon! So natural!Congratulations!
He is in eighth grade! He is 13 years old
KEVIN ITS ME HOLLYYYYY

The next time I see someone being snarky about plastic bassoons, I will shut them up with this video!
