Thanks so much for the sweet comments you all have posted! We had such a fun time in Monterrey! You guys in Mexico were so nice to us...we didn't want to leave. And I don't know when we'll be to Argentina...hopefully soon. I'm also not sure when we'll be back to Mexico either, but we'll tell you as soon as we know...
We are all back home in Utah now. We are learning new arrangements for the concert season starting in September. It feels like we have so much music to get through right now but it's going to be really good stuff. Our summer will also be filled with some other exciting, ambitious projects that we can't talk too much about right now, but will keep you posted on. Come September we will be back in Japan for two weeks of touring, and then home to tour the States.
Can I tell you how nice it is to be home for a while? We absolutely love touring and performing, but come summertime, we are ready to stay in one place for a while. Bryan and I took a vaction a couple weeks ago to Cozumel, Mexico. Bryan loved the suba diving while I loved reading by the ocean and drinking fruity drinks. We had so much fun. Bryan got toally tan, but I kept the SPF50 on so I wouldn't burn. Who comes back from Cosumel without a tan? Me. Thank goodness for self tanner...yikes. Melody took a vacation with Casey to San Diego, and Greg and Ryan are taking off to Bejing, China with my Dad later this summer. Oh, and Deondra and Kevin are off to Alaska to spend time with Kevin's family in June. We spend so much time together during the year touring that when summer comes, we all take off to different points on the globe. Ryan and Tera are still dating, but have postponed their wedding. Maybe we'll still have a wedding this summer? We'll have to wait and see...
Well, again, thanks for all the feedback from you guys. Thank you Desiree, Claudia, Renemty, LadyZara, and Diana, among many others, for your sweet words. You guys Rock!
Love,

Thank you!
Hello!
I wanted to thank you for the beautiful music that you have shared with us!
It is very encouraging to see people our age play classical music and enjoy it.
I took piano lessons for 10 years when I was in school and because of your family I have decided - at the old age of 29 to start taking them again.
I have two questions ...
Are you planning on playing in the Seattle area?
And
When is your next CD coming out?
Looking forward to hearing more of you music soon!
Christy
Eugene Concert
Hey there, Browns!!!
I just want to thank you all for coming to Oregon. I've been looking forward to this concert for several months, and it was definitely well worth the 2 hour drive. You guys have such a love and a passion for your music. It burns in your eyes and flies from your fingers. The concert was so uplifting and so beautiful, I nearly cried, especially when you three sisters did that amazing version of "Clair de Lune". (I was the only one on the floor in the middle of the auditorium wearing a hot pink sundress, if you remember)
I'm planning to go into Music Ed. next fall in a university in WA. Your concert was just the inspiration I needed to keep at it and not give up on the idea. It just think it's so awesome that classical music is finally being promoted by the younger generation of musicians. Thank you so much. Your music touched my heart, and fed my soul. Do come visit Oregon again, if you ever get the chance. You all truly have an amazing gift oft deeply touching people for good with your music. Keep it up!!! And to Gregory or Ryan, whichever one of you did that surprise piece, rock on! It was awesome!

Hello! I'm your new Korean fan!!
Hello, every 5 of you!
I'm Jin Hyoung Kim , [but call me Kim] and am ur new Korean Fan!!!!!!
I am 17boy and I live in mongolia.
I really want to tell you guys that, I love your music!!
You guys interpret the music in the way that makes me to feel comfortable.
You know, sometimes, when you listen a person playing, and you feel like : I would play this part in more that way ... etc
But, whenever I listen to your music, I never feel uncomfortable, it makes me to relax and feel free..
You guys are gifted, all five of you! WOW!! - I envy all of you!!! XD
I have two sisters, one older and one younger.
My older plays piano, and the younger used to play violin but she's not playing now b/c she doesn't like classical music - she likes pop, instead.
I play cello for 7 years and I play piano - self taught. hehe
So, whenever we 3 are together, i want to make harmonies but, it never works!!
Anyways! It's so great to have an account in your website and communicate with all of you!!!!
Agh! I'm so blessed!!
When my older sister comes from Korea in this summer, I hope she could buy all of your CDs.
'Cus, in Mongolia, they don't have a lot of foreign musician's CDs...!!!
I hope I could know you guys more and more through the blogs and your music....!!
Best wishes
Bye

Exciting FHE Book Idea
Hello, Brown Family,
I've long been an admirer of your skills on the pianos. Thanks for a refreshing and unique approach to classical music.
I'm a published LDS author currently compiling a book ("Family Home Evening: If They Can Do It, So Can We!") about Family Home Evenings held by LDS writers; LDS radio, TV, and other artists of every kind; and well-known LDS leaders in sports, business, and the community. I'm contacting outstanding and talented members across the world.
I would love to include something from the five of you . There would be an introduction about you, and a picture (I hope). Many other great artists are already on board, and Deseret Book are looking at the unfinished manuscript.
I can send more specific information if you would like to get back to me asap. I couldn't find any other way of making contact, so if you want to delete this after reading, that's fine with me.
Many thanks.

hello!!!
Hi guys!!! I hope you're good!!!! I can't wait to start the fall semester at BYU!!! I hope to see you there some day!!!
In the other hand.. I would like to make some repertory suggestions.. maybe for concerts... or .. well that kind of stuff.. C. Franck has a prelude, fugue and variations for two pianos.. and its really beautiful.. I don´t remember if he did this works originally for organ.. but they're really nice!!.... another one is from D. Milhaud, Scaramouche!!! is super brilliant!!!
I remember Gregory played Prokofiev Toccata... I would like to see/listen him with Mazzepa!!!
Tchaikovsky's Dumka is also "sublime"..
well.. best wishes for a productive summer!!!
