The 5 BrownsGuest Artists
The 5 BrownsRyan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desiraeare the sons and daughters of Keith and Lisa Brown from Utah who wanted their Mormon 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. They became the first family of five siblings ever accepted simultaneously at New York's Juilliard School. In the music world they are an unprecedented concert attraction: a singular quintet of world-class concert pianists, performing on five pianos and various ensemble combinations, dedicated to bringing classical music to the lives of people everywhere. And they present the music true to themselves by focusing not only on the content, but through their presentation. You won't see The 5 Browns in tux, tails or formal gowns. Instead they take advantage of their two-act concert not only to show their more "dressed-up" side, but also their casual and "cool" side, as they can feel just as comfortable playing in concert dress or in jeans. All through the quintet's career, The 5 Browns have been astounded by audiences' enthusiastic responses to their performances in a variety of venues far away from the revered walls of Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center. Playing in schools and civic auditoriums, where the tickets are affordable and families can attend together (often three generations at once), their concerts have sold out and, to everyone's delight, the Browns have tapped a new audience. |
