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 900,000 YouTube subscribers, and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio.

In 2014, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on YouTube. 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 video 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.

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, Pretty Little Liars, and America's Got Talent.

I hope all three parties involved, mom, dad, and baby, realized this is no accident. This is poetry in motion! Patrick looking at his pregnant wife stroking the keys with such elegance while he lays out the solo in unfathomable language is solemn! There is a God who made such a beautiful creation as the family! Mercy!

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR GORGEOUS MUSIC, SO VERY MUCH!!! I just discovered you two, quite by accident!!! I am so very thankful, that I did.You BOTH are OUTSTANDING MUSICIANS!!! Thank you, for ALL that you do through your MUSIC & Wonderful & Exciting personalities!! Much Admiration & cheers from Sherry Todd, in southern Ontario, Canada!!! I played the violin, many yrs ago, in our schools FREE music program, grades 7 & 8. We had 1st & 2nd Violins, Violas, Cellos & Bass violins. Man, I Loved it so Very much, but unfortunately, I had to stop do it NOT being offered in high school & to my families financial status. I went on to a very rewarding Nursing career, for over 30 yrs.
But oh, how I MISSED my Violin & the other Strings!!! God Bless you both & your Adorable Family!

YouTube needs to add a "LOVE" button for you guys. This needs something so much more than just a "like".

[artjomalexijewitschivanowi]

It is so wonderful to enjoy the way you play this.
It's like Marnie is the piano and Patrick is the cello. Like each cell in your body is swinging with the music.

The cello is even more beautiful than most of the violin versions I've heard. Truly wonderful.

[ginadodds]

I was a church soloist and sang the Schubert Ave Maria at weddings. In this time of crisis, I was so happy to hear you play it. It brought back beautiful memories and gave me hope. Thank you. Gina Dodds, one of your most devoted fans. I tell everyone about Brooklyn Duo and you have many more fans as a result. God Bless always.

[LukeFaulkner]

Takes me back to my friend's wedding in France. Similar location, same music. Thanks for the memory! 👌

[ednaruizmanrique]

This song the Ave Maria is my “go-to” before starting my day and praying my Rosary which is the Hail Mary in Latin. It starts my day off right. It always comforts me in difficult times. Again, thank you for the beautiful piece. You are blessed to have one another! Congratulations on your baby & May you continue to be richly blessed twofold. Best wishes for a beautiful life.

[Michel-zd]

This song is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. You two preformed as if there was no one else in the world. It was if you were making love using the music. It is wonderful. I cried.

[stevenhorst]

As a cellist who has often played this piece for weddings and funerals, let me say this recording is simply gorgeous. For some reason, the sheet music I learned it on is transposed into D. In this recording, keeping it in the original Bb allows for beautiful contrast -- the first part is kept entirely on the D string for a gorgeous sound, and then the second time through it is played in the upper octave, for a completely different but equally beautiful sense of the music. What struck me most is how it is truly played like a prayer. Thank you for sharing!

[genny]

Your baby is listening to a marvelous music.
