Brotherly Love Rocks The Forum One

Last Time
Philadelphia, PA February 11, 2011 – Pop sensation, Brotherly Love, takes 
center stage at the Forum tomorrow night to close out their fifty city “Final 
Countdown” world tour. The whirlwind tour marked the end of an era for 
this native Philadelphia super group.

“We’re psyched to be able to close out a decade of touring right here in our 
home town of Philadelphia”, said lead singer CeeBee. “It’s a sad time for us 
also, but at least we’re surrounded by friends and family, which has always 
been our source of strength.”

Brotherly Love, who began their career performing for free at local 
fraternity functions, have broken every box office record for concert 
attendance and recently received their seventh platinum album for the 
blockbuster release, “Dreamscape.” This latest recognition solidifies their 
posterity with artists the likes of The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and 
Madonna.

“Tomorrow night we’re going to do our thing and then walk away, with no 
regrets”, said CeeBee. “It’s been a great ride but now it’s time to pull over 
and enjoy the view. We want to thank the fans for sticking with us for all 
these years”.

Press Release
LONDON -- The critically acclaimed classical series Bach to Baby, is set up by mum and
pianist Miaomiao Yu after becoming frustrated at not being able to take her children to
the sort of quality classical music concerts that she regularly enjoyed as a professional
musician.

Miaomiao, an award-winning pianist, wanted to perform for her son in a concert setting,
but found it unrealistic for many reasons, including the late nights.

"And then I thought, this is silly: why not play for him and his friends and other babies
and toddlers, at a kid-friendly time? The idea grew from there," said Miaomiao, who is
also a professor of piano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

Miaomiao set about to design a rigorous musical programme for babies that wouldn't
have been out of place at the Proms. Programming range from Bach to Barber, from
Chopin to Shostakovich. "I didn't want to dumb it down for children. Studies show the
positive effects of classical music and children are like little sponges at this stage. Why
shouldn’t they be allowed to experience the same high calibre performances as that
enjoyed by adults in the best concert halls of the world?” asks Miaomiao.

"I've been bringing my son Aubrey to concerts since he was 2 weeks old. He listened and
slept and bounced to music," says the mother of two rambunctious boys. "He is
enthralled, and proves my theory that children will thrive in a concert setting as long as
they are given the opportunity in the first place."

Miaomiao was encouraged by the overwhelming response to her first concert -- one fan
posted this video on Twitter . Bach to Baby now performs in 46 venues across London,
Surrey, Kent, Thames Valley, and Essex, with special events at the Queen’s Gallery,
Buckingham Palace and the Royal Albert Hall.

Instead of playing at modest community halls, venues with a specific sense of

atmosphere were chosen. "I want babies to enjoy sophisticated music and that’s aided by
fantastic atmosphere and acoustics, as well as fabulous guest artists, " said Miaomiao,
adding that exhausted parents deserve an inspiring setting as much as anyone.

Being a mum first and foremost, Miaomiao welcomes all the frenzy that comes along with
being a parent of a young child. "It's about Mozart and Bach, feeding and crying, and
dancing to music - all of it," said Miaomiao. "We haven't made it through a concert
without at least one nappy change. That's the way it should be," she said.

Concerts run from weekday mornings and afternoons, as well as Saturdays in locations
across the South East. Their pre-concert “ Monmouth Coffee Mingle” offers much needed
calories and company for mums.
