The 5 Browns’ music and child advocacy work were the subject of the award-winning 2018 documentary feature, The 5 Browns: Digging Through the Darkness, which was chosen as a “Critic’s Pick” by the New York Times. Individually and collaboratively, they have soloed with orchestras around the world, including the National Symphony Orchestra, the Symphony Orchestras of Saint Louis, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Dallas, and the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris among others. The 5 Browns tour extensively and have performed in numerous venues including the National Center for the Performing Arts (Beijing), Suntory Hall (Tokyo), The Kimmel Center (Philadelphia), Symphony Hall (Chicago), and Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium (New York). The quintet has garnered extensive coverage from media outlets ranging from The Tonight Show, Good Morning America, The Today Show, and The View, to CNN, Fox and Friends, Public Radio’s Performance Today, and The New York Times, Parade, People, the Los Angeles Times, and Entertainment Weekly. The New York Post has proclaimed: “One family, five pianos and 50 fingers add up to the biggest classical music sensation in years.” The 5 Browns have released 8 CDs that have cumulatively spent over 30 weeks at #1 on Billboard Magazine’s Classical Album Chart. The quintet enjoyed their first wave of critical attention in February 2002, when People magazine dubbed them the “Fab Five” and they were featured on Oprah and 60 Minutes. The 5 Browns – Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desirae – all attended New York’s Juilliard School, where they became the first family of five siblings ever accepted. Whether performing individually or together in various combinations from duo to complex five-piano arrangements, The 5 Browns reveal a deep love of classical music while bringing a fresh energy and original palate of tonal colors. The 5 Browns are delivering on their dream to wake up classical music by introducing it to the widest, largest and most excited audience they can find.
