We are excited for the 2024 Conference, which will be our first in partnership with MMTA! The conference will take place at UMKC on September 27th-28th. Anderson & Roe will unfortunately not be able to make it, but we have the Naughton Sisters, another fabulous piano duo, lined up for the concert and masterclass on September 27th. This year's commissioned composer is Joseph Piontek. One ticket for the Naughton Sisters concert is included with your conference registration. To purchase additional tickets, please click here.
This year's conference hotel will be the Aloft on the Plaza. We have negotiated a room block rate of $129/night, which includes a voucher for breakfast and reduced parking rate of $6/day. To book a room, please use this link.
"Indeed, I'm ready to put them on a level with some of the greatest piano duos of our time... They have to be heard to be believed" said the Washington Post of Christina & Michelle Naughton. They have captivated audiences throughout the globe with the unity created by their mystical communication, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, in Christina's own words, "There are times I forget we are two people playing together." The Naughtons' work as a duo was recognized in 2019 as they became the first piano duo to receive the Avery Fisher Career Grant presented by Lincoln Center. Click here to read full bio.
