It was the perfect song to perform with our friend Cicely Parnas, who also joined us on our Westworld cover. Some of you might also recognize Cicely from her work with Patrick’s band Break of Reality. She’s a great friend and phenomenal cellist who is in demand all over the world as a classical soloist. We’re honored to collaborate with her! We also asked Cicely to arrange Bach’s 1st Cello Suite (originally for solo cello) for 3 cellos to record with Patrick for our Brooklyn Classical channel. She was up for the challenge and the arrangement is AWESOME. 😍😍😍 Patrick, Cicely and fellow amazing cellist Christine Lamprea recorded audio for all 6 movements (all available on Spotify, iTunes, and everywhere else) and 3 videos.

Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 500,000 YouTube subscribers, and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio. On a whim, the couple arranged and recorded two pop covers and released them on YouTube. Shakira noticed the duo’s cover of her song Empire 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. Since then, Marnie and Patrick have released over 70 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 7 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Taylor Swift (who also tweeted about them, saying their cover of her song “Blank Space” sounded “like a song people should walk down the aisle to“). In 2016, the couple started a second YouTube channel, Brooklyn Classical, with the goal of introducing classical music to a larger audience. With this new channel, Marnie and Patrick aim to showcase high quality, live performances of classical music. Brooklyn Classical often hosts high-profile guest artists, including the world-renowned Dover and Escher string quartets and percussionist Ivan Trevino. In 2017, Marnie and Patrick partnered with Carnegie Hall and Ensemble Connect, a collective of some of the best young musicians in the U.S., 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.” One of their covers was also recently featured in an episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. #BrooklynDuo
