A mashup of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata with Metallica's One, arranged by Brooklyn Duo and performed live by Brooklyn Duo and Dover Quartet. Get the sheet music here: bit.ly/3kluFId ❤️Please like and subscribe ❤️ Patrick was a bit of a metal head in high school, and he went to many a Metallica concert as a kid. We had the idea to do a classical/metal mashup for a while, and when Patrick started experimenting with the Moonlight Sonata and One, we knew it was a match made in heaven. And who better to help us execute this arrangement than the incredible Dover Quartet 🔥🔥. Check out some more shredding in the Quartet’s brand new video of Shostakovich’s 8th String Quartet over on Brooklyn Classical (bit.ly/30SIqHt). See you next week for another new video! Special thank you to Casey Schmidt and Northwest Grip for his video expertise.

Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 1.2 million YouTube subscribers and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio. Their music has been used in numerous television shows, including Grey's Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, America's Got Talent, and most recently during the 2020 Democratic National Convention. Members Marnie and Patrick Laird met while students at the same chamber music festival and were married in 2012. Both worked as professional musicians after graduating from the Eastman and Juilliard schools of music, respectively; Patrick as a founding member of popular cello rock band, Break of Reality, and Marnie as principal pianist of the New World Symphony. In 2014, on a whim, the couple recorded two covers and released them on YouTube. They were thrilled when Shakira herself took notice of their cover and tweeted about it. The boost from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on YouTube encouraged them to continue creating videos. Today, Marnie and Patrick have released over 100 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 10 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Ariana Grande. They also have a second YouTube channel, "Brooklyn Classical", which aims to introduce classical music to a larger audience through high quality, live video performances. 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.” #BrooklynDuo #DoverQuartet
