BIG SKY – As part of an ongoing mission to bring diverse and
world-class talent to Big Sky, the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center is
hosting a unique performance on Jan. 11: The 5 Browns, a group of
Juilliard-trained siblings with a prescient ability to meld the sounds of five
grand pianos into new and winning takes on the classical music genre.
Dubbed “extraordinary” by Oprah Winfrey, the group has also
performed on “60 Minutes” and each of The 5 Browns’ three albums have held the
No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Classical Album Chart.
Accepted simultaneously to Juilliard, a first-ever for New
York’s world-renowned school of music, art and performance, the five members of
the band will wow at the WMPAC with their complex arrangements with no other
instrumental or vocal accompaniment.
For the WMPAC staff, pulling off such an event is also
nuanced; it’s no small feat to transport five grand pianos to the heart of the
Montana Rockies, all with heated tractor-trailers and an entire crew of piano
movers.
