Hear The 5 Browns Live In Boerne

On Saturday, February 9 there was a sold out crowd at the Boerne Performing Arts presentation of The 5 Browns. The piano quintet is comprised of five sibling Juilliard pianists, two brothers and three sisters.

This concert broadcast will be aired again in April 2013 as part of Public Radio Music Month!
