Hey guys! It's just me (Marnie) this time, trying out a new style of video for ya! (Truth be told, we came to this camera angle decision mainly because I didn't feel like doing my hair and makeup...it was glorious! I was a mess from the waist up and loving it!) Actually, I needed all the extra time I could get to practise this cover...It was hard!!!
And if you live under a rock and haven't checked out Postmodern Jukebox's vintage-style covers yet, do yourself a favour and go watch them right now! They are amazing!

Brooklyn Duo:
Marnie Laird, piano
Patrick Laird, cello

BROOKLYN DUO BIO:

Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 800,000 YouTube subscribers, and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.

In 2014, on a whim, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on YouTube. Amazingly, Shakira noticed the duo’s cover and promoted it to her 130 million-plus fan base, saying: “We're loving Brooklyn Duo's piano/cello cover of Empire! Great work guys." The boost that resulted from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on YouTube encouraged the couple to continue creating videos. (Other notable shout-outs since then include ones from Taylor Swift, a-ha and Pearl Jam.)

Today, Marnie and Patrick have released over 100 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 9 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Ariana Grande. In 2016, the couple started a second YouTube channel, Brooklyn Classical, with the goal of introducing classical music to a larger audience through high quality, live performances. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets, percussionist Ivan Trevino and cellist Cicely Parnas.

In 2017, Marnie and Patrick partnered with Carnegie Hall and Ensemble Connect to produce a cover of a-ha’s “Take On Me”. The video went viral and garnered millions of views in just a few months. Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.” Their music has also been featured on several television shows, including Grey's Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars.

1:00 I imagine one of those old black and white cartoon cliches where the damsel is tied to train tracks and the villian is all maniacal like MWAHAHAHAHA lmfao

[squicciarini]

Honestly sounds like something I would hear in a Tim Burton film, I love it.

[yhlitmg]

I can just imagine someone singing to this in a 20's style

[BrilliantCookiebaker]

This kinda sounds like it's part of a sherlock soundtrack and i'm here for it

Love the heels artistically placed in the corner there.

[gcrane-rneq]

This woman playing the piano is so incredibly talented it hurts

[amalia]

In just 4 months it will be the 20’s again

I actually want to see her sing it dressed up in 1920's apparel and preform it like this

But I really can’t complain

[shiomicchi]

Anyone else imagining this being played by a 1920s pianist in a bar?
