The 5 Browns are a classical piano ensemble consisting of five siblings—two brothers and three sisters. Their repertoire ranges from beloved concert hall staples, such as Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, and Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King to lesser known works like Nico Muhly's Edge of the World and John Novacek's Reflections on Shenandoah. In addition to their work on five pianos, The 5 Browns perform and record works for solo piano, two pianos, and in various other combinations.
From 2001 to 2006 the 5 Browns attended New York's Juilliard
School, where they studied with Yoheved Kaplinsky. They were the first family
of five siblings to be enrolled simultaneously. In February 2002 People
magazine dubbed them the “Fab Five" at about the same time they were
featured on Oprah and 60 Minutes. The 5 Browns have released 3 CDs that each
went to #1 on Billboard Magazine's Classical Album Chart. Their concerts have
widely received critical acclaim.
