The five siblings are also passionate about classical music. This critically acclaimed family's 10 hands deftly rhapsodize the piano, and they showed off their talent on the Saturday Early Show's Second Cup Cafe.
Their first album spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Classical chart and their second spent 21 weeks at No. 1 on the charts.
The quintet from Utah released their third studio album, "Browns in Blue," on Oct. 2. This time around, the Browns are looking to jazz for inspiration and are hoping to enjoy the success they had with their previous two albums.
Now all in their 20s, the Brown children began displaying their musical talent around age 3. They tried their hand at other instruments but each was drawn to the piano.
All five siblings attended the prestigious Julliard School in New York City and have been featured on 60 Minutes and "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
