Becki S, mom and I went to The 5 Browns concert last night. The 5 Browns -- Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desirae -- are siblings who are each concert pianists. They started playing piano around age 3 and by age 9 each had made a debut with a major symphony orchestra. They became the first family of five siblings ever accepted simultaneously to Juilliard. The evening was a treat. We had performances on 5 pianos by all 5 siblings, some duets, some solos and then the sisters played a trio on one piano. The music was diverse and enjoyable - from Gershwin's "American in Paris" to Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" to Debussy's "Clair de Lune" to my favorite, "Grande Tarantelle" by Gottschalk. That one was a real toe-tapper! Overall a very enjoyable evening.
