With sold-out concerts and screaming fans, The 5 Browns are redefining what it means to be classical musicians. Twenty- something siblings who grew up in a small town in Utah, the piano virtuosos are sweeping the nationβand the classical charts. In LIFE BETWEEN THE KEYS, these charming, warm, and funny prodigies reveal their most intimate musings, impressions, and memories along their journey from obscurity to stardom. The 5 Brownsβ insights found in this book will relate to readers of all ages through a collection of true short stories and vignettes, written by each one of the siblings in his or her own words. Readers can listen to the accompanying unedited live performance CD, matching The 5 Brownsβ individual styles of playing with their different personalities. Readers will experience the journey with each of the pianists as they take their places at their respective pianos, lock eyes, exchange a silent signal, and in a mere instant transform themselves from regular kids into musical dynamos, flawless in precision and steeped in passion. They have shattered all the preconceptions of classical music as being inscrutable or intimidating. As the New York Post proclaimed, "One family, five pianos, and fifty fingers add up to the biggest classical music sensation in years."
