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 1.3 million CZcams 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 CZcams. 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 CZcams encouraged Marnie and Patrick 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 CZcams channel and 10 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Ariana Grande. They also have a second CZcams channel, "Brooklyn Classical", which aims to introduce 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, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and America's Got Talent.

Patrick I'm so sorry about your cycling accident I'm glad you're recovering. I can't wait for you to get back to the cello and start recording I love your stuff it is really beautiful
A beautiful couple. May God keep you and preserve you. Lots of love. Keep recording, your music lights up my days..
Blessed be the day you appeared on my CZcams algorithm, you are simply the door to heaven, so much love, respect and admiration to both of you ❤️ 🇲🇽
Patrick reminds me so much of my brother. Which is a good thing! Keep up the good work, Duo!
Maybe in the near future those kids of yours will start joining in the ensemble? That would be cute.
I just discovered you today. You two are amazing, and I cried waching several of your performances. Absolutely beautiful...💓💓
I am a Korean fan. I wish you a speedy recovery. your couple's beautiful music clears my soul. I love you.
고맙습니다.
God Bless Your Family.
Patrick, I wish you a very speedy recovery! Take care! Marnie, baby your sweetie!
My first piano recital piece at 9 years old was Braham's Lullaby played for memory.
Hey, enjoyed this Q&A's. Fun and lovely of you to share with us your viewers. Glad the elbow is on the mend, looking forward to up coming posts. Love your music. 🎶 great team. 👍
Thanks, Keith!
Waiting for more videos, you are simply champions
This is so nice! Fun hearing you chat and share your stories. And saw the bike posting on Instagram.....so glad you're healing well.
I absolutely adore you two and sit in awe of your music together.
This was such a treat to watch.💜 I really hope you guys do more Q & A's like this. It's so weird to hear you say that a mention in a tweet from Taylor Swift was a memorable moment for you. I wish I knew how to adequately articulate how much I love your music. I like Taylor but when it comes to any other musician/ singer vs you guys... lets just say it's Taylor 7 Brooklyn Duo 10. You guys win, hands down! You are both so talented. Marnie, you have inspired me to learn how to play the piano. I love how respectful you are to each other. You both have such a calm, gentle and loving dynamic and that's really nice to see as well. Looking forward to more music from you.
Thank you so much, Nadia!
Hope you’re enjoying the piano. ❤️
@@BrooklynDuo Very much, thank you... Your comment has made my day!! 💃💃💃
Love the Q&A 👍
I love playing along with you in my lounge room , playing my violin by ear. Really love your music..thank you for sharing with us all ❤️
Loved this so much! Thanks for taking the time to do that. Can't wait to see (hear) what you do next!
Excellent duo ...
and some road rash!
Patrick, glad to see that you're mending well. Thanks to both of you for sharing your gifts of music. I first saw you performing The Swan. It was magical.
Thanks I Love listening to you both. Thanks for all the beautiful music!
Thanks for sharing all of that, it was great to get to know you!
Thank God.. you are in good health ❤🇩🇿🤲🏻
Phenomenal talent!!!!!! Unbelievable!!!! So impressive & breath taking music!!!!!
The piano solo explains the injured elbow; pleased you are well and wait in eager anticipation for your next musical podcast together.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Wishing you a speedy recovery because I love you guys very much ❤️
I love you two so much! I cannot stand how much I love this!!
I literally said bossing around to myself would be the best part of playing together before you said it 🤣🤣 not enough time in the world to be polite
Loved this! So fab to find out a bit more about you both, and your history, etc. Love that your cello has an air of mystery Patrick! That little update at the end was great to see, too. Can't believe how quickly you have got back to playing. Looking forward very much to your next video 🤗
Thanks for watching!
I walked down the aisle 3 months ago to your rendition of “I Can’t Help Falling in Love”. It was so beautiful. I will never forget the happiest day of my life or this song. Thank you ❤
I am speaking life and healing over you now in the name of Jesus Patrick! God bless!
Loved this guys keep up the good work I listen to u all the time and have followed u for about five years now 👍💖 keep doing what yr doing stay well and stay safe xx

Disfruto mucho sus interpretaciones, son ustedes un dúo extraordinario; me gustaría que se presentaran en la Ciudad de México; saludos.

Please keep up your great work!
What a wonderful video! It is always great to see behind the scenes content with honest and transparent answers about how the process actually works! Can't wait for you guys to start doing live shows so I can make it out and see you!
Patrick, keep up with the healing process, so glad it wasn't more serious!
Thank you, Alexander! Hope to see you at a live show one day!
Congurations I love beautiful couple
I do have one request, my youngest son Little David passed away when he was 16 back in 2015. The song that makes me always remember him is Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson. I know you are both very busy, but if you could cover that song I would love to hear your version. Thank you, and I do understand if you do not have time. Much love to you both...💗
great video. enjoyed it!
Really enjoyed this, it answers questions that I've thought of while listening to ya'll.
Recently found your channel and subbed. Although I am not a true follower of classical music, I do love true professionals and with your varied styles you cover just convinced me and had me looking at several of your videos.
I have to say the two of you are fantastic in your own right, and together the way you arrange your music is spellbinding.
You are each truly blessed and yall have a couple of beautiful children. It will be interesting to see if they are drawn to follow in your footsteps.
I hope and wish for you all the best life and music has to offer you. God bless and I hope your elbow gets better. And I hope the boss takes it a little easy on you.
What a beautiful, kind comment.
Thank you so much, Brian! So glad you enjoy our music.
we never change please
Very interesting, thank you for sharing. look forward to seeing and hearing more from you.
You two are a cute couples, hopefully you guys can perform in live concerts, I’m a fan of you, I’m following you guys through social media platforms and online music service (Spotify); keep up the good work, we can’t wait for the next one, and speedy recovery (the one with the bandage wrapped around)‼️❗️❣️👋🏻😯🤔😌👀🎼🎹🇨🇦🫶🏻🤕🙏🏻😎👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
I'm not a piano fan, but together with cello, the music is so good. I started listening to Piano Guys. Love them, and love you two. Thank you and stay well!
I think a collaboration with 40 fingers would be AMAZING!!
You two are awesome and a joy to listen to. Keep producing the quality you continue to make. We love it.
Love your music!
Hello. Much love from Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Thank you so much for this insight. Btw your room looks amazing. Could you do a house tour for us? 😃
Thank you! This is actually not in our house, but we have a studio tour video if you wanna check it out!
You should do more of those chats. Your fans love that. Gina Dodds
우아!!!신기해요. 연주곡만듣다가 이런인터뷰까지. . 연주곡 찬양 들으며 자는데.. 앞으로도 좋은곡 부탁드려요!!!!^^♡♡♡♡♡
Just stumbled upon the CZcams of Marnie playing the Turkish Rondo, and watched it quite a few times. So amazing to see her fingers so fast on the keys with no mistakes. All while the ordinary world goes on outside the window (e.g. the cars going by on the street). Glad I came to this Q and A, as I was surprised to learn from Marnie that she attended the University of Victoria, just like me, though I was there a long time ago.
Well, Brooklyn Duo, so pleased to get to know you a little! Whatever qualifications you have, you're definitely much more qualified in music than me! (Not hard!) Heeeyyy, Patrick! I was already a fan of your cello-playing but, now that I know you're a cyclist......! Well, what can I say, you touched me deeply, as I have been a bike rider since the age of 14 (in 1958). I raced for quite a few years, with little breaks here and there. Still trying to ride. However, back to the reason for the 'chat'.....enjoyed listening to all your answers and so - finally - I can understand why you are such terrific artists together! Maybe you might even come 'Down Under' and perform at the famous Sydney Opera House one day. There is a concert hall in it, as well as the opera theatre. I'd even get to that, despite being 'waaay out in the countryside. My dream is to go to La Scala one day but I doubt it will happen. Best wishes for the future!
Just saw this. Glad you recovered well.
I love Your music. I will take cello lessons soon.
Love your work, I'll suggest an extreme request, do a Jimi Hendrix number in the future
love you guys❤😊
Please please please do a cover of another love Tom Odell, it would be phenomenal with the combination of the piano and cello!!!
Oh, really hope everything will go well, and back to NORMAL soon.
As musicians, our hands/ arms are so important!
Take good care, for both of you ! :)
Love your music a lot!
Come to Oporto, Portugal! Please!!!
This duo is impressive, sublime, pure in performances that are really harmonious, perfect... also a beautiful couple. God bless you.
Please, I would like to see those times that fail, that one does not enter at the right moment, and they have to stop in the execution to laugh.
It would be great to see those videos! Please show them.
Obrigado por me emocionar com as lindas canções
Muito bom! Acompanho o trabalho de vocês ... gosto demais❤
Do you think your children will be interested in music? Brooklyn sister and brother ? I love your music it calms me down after stressful working days helps me sleep
Dark side of the moon please!
Thanks god, we still need you in a good health, we really miss great music,
Tanti auguri di pronta guarigione 😃👍🏼
I saw you broke your elbow on Twitter. Are you going to teach your kids how to play the cello or piano? I l💛ve your music. Thanks for posting. 🎻🎹
I v. much enjoyed this, so thank you both. Pleased to learn that the elbow fracture is on the mend Patrick. I feel your pain; In 2017 I also had a 30+ mph dismount from my road bike initiated by a mahoosive Ford van resulting in a similar injury to my left elbow (plus fractured clavicle, plus fractured ribs). But I'm not a cellist so the consequences are not comparable. My insurance payout funded a Colnago which would have been way beyond my means and will always be beyond my talent. What bike do you ride?
Lindooooo 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🎹
Хорошо что все хорошо еще закончилось. Выздоравливайте быстрее.
Металл- рулит!) Сама выросла на Металлике, Скорпионз...
Я люблю ваши каверы. На современные треки....
Приятно было вас послушать). И посмотреть на вас.
Patrick, it's not how many more degrees Marnie has than you, it's where she got them. 😆
Big fan of your music, but I'm always surprised when you turn me on to a song (usually pop) that I would never have listened to otherwise. Thank you!
i love you so much 🇩🇿❤❤️🔥
Lovely husband and wife
Please do golden hour
A question.....when will you play in Brazil?
Love your music. Can you by your music on CDs?
I like you so much people! Many warm greetings from Poland :).
Omg, get WeLL Soon ☺️❤️🩹
May I suggest a song ? The Circle Of Life (LioN KinG)….. I can hear yu both playing the song already.. It’s a song covered in dust at the time 😅🫣
Yessss!!!
Two baby mother and father .. you can teach your babies violin . Viola .. group family string's triplets ... You will have happines family....sweet family....
Maravilhosos🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Sois geniales ,duo para siempre,que sea leve la lesión del brazo.
Hello, I am a Mexican fan and I just wanted to tell you that you are a beautiful couple, the dream of my life is to be able to find a partner who loves music like me.... I admire your musical work, all the covers you have done have made me amazed and personally the feeling that your husband transmits when he plays the cello is something that excites me and transmits too much, the connection that you have when you play together is really beautiful. Thank you very much for answering these questions that allow us to know more about you. I look forward to the next video... God bless you, I also wish that arm heals soon 🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜YOU GUYS ,FROM SYD AUSTRALIA XOXOXO
Take care Patrick we are waiting for a new cover but we can still wait ( please Ezio's family. ) and Marnie oh gosh you were looking so cute in your younger photo. I am really happy that you both started with classical music, you both are really good at it. You both started to learn an instrument before you both were even 10. I'm 19. I started to learn acoustic guitar when the pandemic begun ಠ﹏ಠ
Good luck with the guitar! 👍
May I ask two questions regarding your Steinway B. 1. What year was it manufactured. 2. Who did the rebuild on it ? Lindeblad maybe ?
👍
💜🎉👏🏾
gurenge by lisa. The world needs a Brooklyn Duo version of that song. I know you're not a jukebox, but I'd feel remiss if I didn't put that out there.
How did your video for Havana develop?
The guy that did a u-turn in front of you is a total fred!
Okay, he had to keep asking for your name, but he kept asking.
你們好!。我是來自台灣，我一直都很喜歡；你們所演奏出的"鋼琴與大提琴"之每一樂章!。我想在此祝福早日復原!。
Did Patrick attend the Hartwick College Summer Music Festival & Institute back in the years 2001-2004-ish? I was lucky enough to attend that wonderful summer festival in Oneonta, NY during those years and his name sounds very familiar! My group of friends had a couple of cellists intertwined with everyone else so I wouldn't be surprised if I knew him indirectly.
I can't find my Hartwick Hi-Notes from "bandcamp" otherwise I'd take a look at the directory and see for myself!
He says he did! He probably knows you! What’s your last name?
@@BrooklynDuo haha, what a small world! I was looking for a decent piano cover of "Running Up That Hill" (which is wonderful by the way) and came across your channel.
Bartyzel. I was pretty young back then, like 14-16ish. It's kind of pathetic I can't remember half of my friend's names, otherwise I'd give him the names of my string friends!
I studied clarinet with Enid Blount and Dan Block and piano with Kai Moscarello and Peter Miyamoto.
