Twenty-something siblings who grew up in a small town in Utah, the piano virtuosos are sweeping the nation—and the classical charts. In LIFE BETWEEN THE KEYS, these charming, warm, and funny prodigies reveal their most intimate musings, impressions, and memories along their journey from obscurity to stardom.

The 5 BrownsÂ’ insights found in this book will relate to readers of all ages through a collection of true short stories and vignettes, written by each one of the siblings in his or her own words. Readers can listen to the accompanying unedited live performance CD, matching The 5 BrownsÂ’ individual styles of playing with their different personalities.

They have shattered all the preconceptions of classical music as being inscrutable or intimidating. As the New York Post proclaimed, "One family, five pianos, and fifty fingers add up to the biggest classical music sensation in years."
