The Edge of the World Tour
“I was astonished by the precision with which the talented Browns executed their keyboard gymnastics, not to mention their crisp coordination with the CSO under James Conlon.”
- Chicago Tribune
(Premiere of Nico Muhly’s The Edge of the World)
“One family, five pianos and 50 fingers add up to the biggest classical music sensation in years.”
- New York Post
"Send them out to schools from shore to shore, with piano teachers on hand to sign up students afterward, and the future of classical music will look a lot brighter … THE 5 BROWNS proved that classical music can reach teens and twenty-somethings on their own ground, but without posturing or cheapening the product."

Latest Album Release
At its core, this is a passion project inspired by children’s keepsake boxes filled with personal treasures. The music is meant to illustrate emotions — some beautiful, some heartbreaking, some a combination — attached to childhood memories and mementos. Produced by Grammy Award winner Adam Abeshouse and recorded at the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts, the siblings bring multiple pianos to life as they perform many selections they played throughout their childhoods.
“The Little Tin Box is easily the most personal and meaningful album we have ever recorded” said Gregory Brown. “We hope listeners will take this journey through childhood memory with us.
