The 5 Browns
The 5 Browns are a classical piano ensemble consisting of five siblings—two brothers and three sisters. Their repertoire ranges from beloved concert hall staples, such as Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, and Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King to lesser known works like Nico Muhly's The Edge of the World and John Novacek's Reflections on Shenandoah. In addition to their work on five pianos, The 5 Browns perform and record works for solo piano, two pianos, and in various other combinations.
Background
In descending age order, the Browns are Desirae (born 1979), Deondra (born 1980), Gregory (born 1982), Melody (born 1984), and Ryan (born 1986). All five siblings, the children of Keith and Lisa Brown, were born in Houston, Texas, where each began piano study with Yelena Kurinets at age 3. In 1991, the family moved to Utah, and the children were homeschooled and continued private study there with Irene Peery-Fox.
From 2001 to 2006 the 5 Browns attended New York’s Juilliard School, where they studied with Yoheved Kaplinsky. They were the first family of five siblings to be enrolled simultaneously. In February 2002 People magazine dubbed them the “Fab Five" at about the same time they were featured on Oprah and 60 Minutes. The 5 Browns have released 3 CDs that each went to #1 on Billboard Magazine’s Classical Album Chart. Their concerts have widely received critical acclaim.

You Can't Grow Peaches On A Cherry Tree
by: The BrownsDoo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
I 'd have tried to make you love me I've done everything your way
And I'm trying for the words you'll never say
You think love has an illusion it must end in sad inclusion
If that's what you feel that's just how it will be
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo you can't grow peaches on a cherry tree
When I feel the peaches blossom I'll regreat I said goodbye
I'll remember cherry kisses and I'll cry
But I can't go on pretending that our love is never ending
For you can't be loved unless you want to be
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo and you can't grow peaches on a cherry tree
Someday I will find a new love but for you that can be none love
For you can't be loved unless you want to be
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo you can't grow peaches on a cherry tree
