Kirk Whipple & Marilyn Morales, Duo Pianists / Composers

2005 Year in Photos ~ September 8 to 24, 2005

Florida & Tennessee


 

 

< < < Back in Florida, Whipple & Morales kick the school year off by returning to Archbishop McCarthy High School.

 

Since fellow U.F.O. member David Eccles moved to Tallahassee to pursue his Doctorate Degree at Florida State University, Cypress Lake Center for the Arts High School is now under the direction of another fellow U.F.O. member, Michael Simpson. (Amazing how good things happen to good people, isn't it?) The Unconservatory received an Arts in Education grant from The State of Florida Division of Cultural Affairs to help support an extended musical residency featuring the Whipple Morales Piano Duo. Cypress Lake orchestral students worked with the duo and Maestro Simpson to put together an exciting program of music from around the world.

Marilyn & Kirk are joined by Doug Andrews (Director of Programming at South Florida Community College in Avon Park) at Corky's Barbeque. The inspiration for this trip, Gaylen Phillips was holding down the fort in Tallahassee. Dr, P., this brew's fer you!
