Renowned Classical Group Will Perform At ETSU Martin Center

From East Tennessee State University:

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – Heralded by The New York Post as “the biggest classical
music sensation in years,” a renowned quintet will perform next month in Johnson City.

The 5 Browns are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 5, in the Grand Hall of
the East Tennessee State University Martin Center for the Arts.

“This will be a wonderful evening of classical music,” said Dr. Esther Park, an associate
professor in ETSU’s Department of Music. “Book your tickets now for what will be an energetic and dynamic performance.”

Comprised of Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desirae, the group attended The Juilliard
School in New York, becoming the first family of five siblings ever accepted simultaneously.

In 2002, the group enjoyed a wave of success when People magazine declared them the
“Fab Five.” That same year, both “Oprah” and “60 Minutes” featured The 5 Browns. The
quintet has released eight CDs, three of which reached No. 1 on Billboard Magazine’s
Classical Album Chart.

The Martin Center, located at 1320 W. State of Franklin Road, is across from the main
