The 5 Browns

Sunday night in Fort Myers our Stake was lucky enough to have the 5 Brown's do a Fireside for the youth. It was wonderful!! They each spoke, played the piano and were huge inspirations to everyone who attended.

They were amazing and their testimonies were very touching and inspiring. They met with the youth afterwards and were so sweet & kind to talk to everyone who wanted to meet them. Jaycee got all their autographs, and Jordan got to talk to most of them.

I'm so glad we got to go. It was amazing!

Here is a little bio on the Brown family:
The 5 Browns -- Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desirae -- are the sons and daughters of Keith and Lisa Brown from Utah who wanted their Mormon children to have music in their lives. The goal was to raise “five good people.” Not only did they achieve their goal, but they also managed to raise five great pianists. Each child at around age 3 showed a clear talent and interest in piano lessons, and while the children were introduced to other instruments, their passion was the piano. Playing came as naturally to them as eating or sleeping and as early as age 9 they had each made their debut with a major symphony orchestra-a major pay-off for the hours of practice and dedication the entire family had devoted.

When Desirae began to plan for college – Deondra, a year younger, decided to accelerate her education in order to attend with her sister – the family began looking into music schools and scholarships before deciding upon New York’s Juilliard School. One year later when Gregory, Melody and Ryan were accepted to Juilliard, they became the first family of five siblings ever accepted simultaneously and so the entire Brown family, along with their five pianos, moved from Utah to New York.

They are amazing people and their music is beautiful. If you want to read more about The 5 Brown's, you can go to http://www.the5browns.com/
