Twin stars

Christina and Michelle Naughton are identical twins. They began taking piano lessons when they were 4 years old, and one could say they took it pretty seriously...they now tour the world as duo piano partners. On Tuesday's Performance Today, we'll hear Christina and Michelle Naughton perform Poulenc's Concerto for Two Pianos, in a performance from the Grand Teton Music Festival.
