Don’t miss a special opportunity to tune in to a FREE, LIVE performance of The 5 Browns at Florida State University’s Ruby Diamond Concert Hall.
This event is a sold-out show, but you can stream the entire performance LIVE from the comfort of your home.
The 5 Browns all attended New York’s Juilliard School, where they became the first family of five siblings ever admitted. The quintet enjoyed their first wave of attention when People Magazine dubbed them the “fab five” in addition to being featured on Oprah and 60 Minutes. The New York Post proclaimed, “one family, five pianos, and 50 fingers add up to the biggest classical music sensation in years.”
The 5 Browns — Desirae, Deondra, Gregory, Melody, and Ryan — will perform a range of selections including Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Debussy’s Clair de Lune, and an electrifying rendition of Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
The performance will also feature the legendary Steinway Art Case Piano Collection of Mr. DeVoe Moore, with one-of-a-kind Steinways, including:
The Alma-Tadema Piano
The Peace Piano
The White House Grand Piano
...and more!
