American twins Christina and Michelle Naughton will give a piano concert in early May.
The sisters were trained at the Curtis Institute of Music and the Juilliard School. They earned bachelor’s degrees in solo piano performance in 2011 at Curtis, where they both received the Festorazzi Prize. They earned master’s degrees from Juilliard in 2013. Pianist Joseph Kalichstein taught the sisters at Juilliard and remarked, “When they play together, they seem to have one mind and one body — it’s extraordinary — like one person with two hands playing.”
The Naughtons’ professional career was launched in 2010 with debuts at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and the Mann Center for Performing Arts with the Philadelphia Orchestra, after which The Philadelphia Inquirer described them as “paired to perfection.” In 2011, they performed in Munich’s Herkulessaal and began to establish their reputation outside of the United States.
The Naughtons released their first album, “Piano Duets,” on the German label Orfeo in 2012. It was praised by Der Spiegel for a performance that “stands out with unique harmony and sings out with stylistic confidence.”
