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. Whether performing individually or together in various combinations from duo to complex five-piano arrangements, The 5 Browns deliver what Entertainment Weekly called "… scorching piano. Thundering down on five Steinways together, they're button-down cute and somewhat otherworldly."
