The 5 Browns

When Desirae and Deondra Brown left Alpine, Utah headed for Juillard to pursue their classical piano studies there was no way of knowing that their three piano-playing siblings and even their parents would soon follow suit, making New York City their temporary home base.

Since the release of their self-titled first CD, The 5 Browns have been making news on the classical circuit, drawing audiences across the generations, including some more likely to be found at rock concerts.  Today Desirae and Deondra talk about their musical beginnings, becoming a group, being known as Mormon musicians, and their contagious passion for classical music.

That’s this week on the Cricket and Seagull...

Places to Look and Listen:
The 1st CD
It's not all work...
