THE 5 BROWNS

When one looks at five attractive, well-dressed young musicians, ages 28 to 35, one is inclined to think, “ah, a pop group.” Looks can be deceiving:  these five brothers and sisters, the first family of five siblings to enroll at New York’s prestigious Juilliard School, are classical music artists of the highest caliber. They dazzled audiences when they opened our 2012-2013 season as a special event, so much so that we knew we had to bring them back on our Great Performers series. The 5 Browns: five Steinway Artists at five pianos, performing individually or together in various combinations from duos to complex five-piano arrangements, classical and contemporary music played flawlessly.
