What can we say about this piece? 😍 Composed by John Williams for the movie Schindler’s List in 1994, it instantly became one of the most memorable and recognizable movie themes ever written. The music is gorgeous. And we are so grateful to the expert musicians from the Dover Quartet for helping us bring this arrangement to life. We wanted to give each player in the quartet a time to shine with a solo, and shine they did! They are all so darn amazing.
To hear more of their exquisite playing, check out their latest performance on Brooklyn Classical - the first movement from Mendelssohn Quartet No. 2 in A minor ( • Dover Quartet - Mendel... ). Thanks for watching and we’ll see you next week for another video release!
Special thank you to Casey Schmidt and Northwest Grip for his video expertise.

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 1.2 million KZfaq 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 KZfaq. 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 KZfaq encouraged them to continue creating videos.
Today, Marnie and Patrick have released over 100 videos on their Brooklyn Duo KZfaq channel and 10 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Ariana Grande. They also have a second KZfaq 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.”
