Yes, Kevin plays not just the cello, but sax at concert level and keyboard as well. PLUS...he beatboxes while playing the cello. He invented that...celloboxing. Oh..and he sings, composes and helps with arrangements, speaks Mandarin and a couple of other languages and graduated pre-med before he joined PTX. He's kind of a genius, I think. You are certainly not the only one to break down in tears watching this rendition...I've seen grown men shed a few as well. And I've also had wet cheeks a few times when hearing this lovely song.
I'm not cutting onions, you're cutting onions! The emotion that Kirstin puts into her singing just knocks me over every time I hear this song. I love that they had Kevin playing the cello in this - for me, the cello is the string instrument that evokes the most emotion. Overall, this is in my top 5 PTX videos ever.
For more Kevin on cello with PTX, there’s Radioactive, Shallow, Over The River, and Perfect. For some of his best solo work, try Down and also Renegade. Keep up the great work!
Also Papaoutai and Dancing On My Own. DOMO is especially poignant, because it was one of 2 videos they did after Avi left and before Matt joined permanently, and the cello line is basically the bass line that Avi would have been singing if he was still with them.
Kevin is a classically trained musician. Kirstie (rhymes with thirsty) is doing a great job, you are right. So glad you are a fan. You would enjoy their "Dreams". It is very simple and beautiful 5-part harmony. Also, their "My Heart with You" is simple and beautiful. I look forward to more of your PTX reactions.
A very emotional song and the way the sing it, Avi and Kirstin putting all the emotion in here, and the harmonies, the arrangement, the cello goes so well because is an instrument that almost cry, Kevin is very talent
Your reaction relates to my feelings for this gorgeous performance. Try Kirsty's originals Be My Eyes or Love Me When I Don't. I especially love the first one. You should watch the 2016 Popspring concert anyway as it has Pentatonix doing three originals and an Evolution and they are brilliant. But the last song Water is Kirsty's and is beautiful.
Hi Sweetheart, great to see you again. Missed you. Great video, great reaction. This one gets me EVERY time I hear it. I’m a big fan of the original and it never made me cry. This one does. You would be surprised at how many people have never heard of them.
I left them when Avi did. In my opinion, he made the group. Avi has a great solo career and toured most of 2022. Several countries in Europe, the U.S. and Canada. He is a great, prolific writer, singer and a strong, tender, compassionate, man.
My thoughts exactly I really tried but I just didn't get the same feel from their music anymore ( and that makes me a little sad because they are so talented ).
I want to start by saying, first time viewer and an instant subscriber. This was a wonderful reaction to a most beautiful song. This amazing group of people have the ability to take us, their audience exactly where they want us to go. For me, this one is an old combination of strength and sorrow. Kirstie leads it as if it's coming from her very soul. Avi's gentle voice nearly breaks your heart, "I'm saying goodbye". The layering of their vocals was exquisite. To end with Kevin and his sweet voice. This IS an emotional song, performed perfectly. So, an emotional response is to be expected. I will certainly check out any other PTX that you have done. Thank you so much for this genuine reaction. I loved it. You are doing great and look beautiful. May your path be filled with hope, joy and love. Share it with EVERYONE you come in contact with. The world will be a better place. 😸
This comment made my entire week thank you so much, im so glad you enjoyed it and there are plenty more pentatonix videos for you to check out so buckle up !
They are masters of harmonies and they are so easy to love. Check out their evolution of Rhianna , “new rules x a you that somebody”. You will see new bass Matt and what he can do
Kevin played Carnegie Hall on the Cello as a teenager, Created theform of music known as Cello-boxing, Yale med school, Speaks Mandarin and basically pretty sure he stole all my talent at birth LOL, he is a total genius. Kirstie , I always love her emotions.
Kevin is a classically trained cellist and saxophonist and he plays the piano/keyboard too. A musical genus! Kirstie really shines as the lead in this one but I’m sure you’ll agree it’s a superlative performance by Scott, Mitch and Avi too in their roles. I love how they’ve grown over the years and some of their best music (including “The prayer”, “Mad World”, and “Shallow” is of a more recent vintage. I hope you’ll continue your PTX journey and discover this for yourself. Subbed in anticipation!
Kevin is a very talented instrumentalist on cello and saxophone, Avi is a great guitarist and Scott is a strong pianist. They are so talented! Such a beautiful song and a fantastic cover. Thank you for your reaction. Avi's solo work is amazing - please check it out.
Please react to "Be My Eyes", "Wizard of Ahhhs", "My Favorite Things", to name a few more that feature Kirstie.....she is amazing in this one, too......she looks like she's been crying for a week .........love her passion and energy in her songs...
![*First time reacting! PTX-The Prayer[Official Video]](/img/1.gif)
You did well, I was ugly crying at the end at least the for the first 20 times. Rips the heart out. They are immensely blessed with talent. 👼👼👼

They are amazing. I could listen to them all day. Please react to "Break My Heart".
Their layering is phenomenal...!!!
Recommend their cover of Shallow.
He also plays the saxophone and keyboards. Watch Kevin's one-man band performance of Marian Hill's "Down."
