The 5 Browns -- Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desirae -- are the sons and daughters of Keith and Lisa Brown from Utah who wanted their children to have music in their lives. The goal was to raise "five good people." Not only did they achieve their goal, but they also managed to raise five great pianists. Playing came as naturally to them as eating or sleeping and, as early as age nine, they had each made their debut with a major symphony orchestra.
In the music, world they are an unprecedented concert attraction: a singular quintet of world-class concert pianists. They perform on five pianos, in various ensemble combinations, and are dedicated to bringing classical music to the lives of people everywhere.
Audiences are enthralled when the five perform in concert. When The 5 Browns sit down to perform on their five Steinway grand pianos, their eyes lock, a silent signal passes between them and, in an instant, they are transformed from "regular kids" to musical dynamos. Flawless in precision and steeped in passion, they invariably stun critics and shatter the preconceptions of those who think classical music inscrutable or intimidating.
