Lund, who is well-known for her dramatic work with the Florida Repertory Theatre will be reciting the poetry of Ogden Nash to compliment the performance of Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals, which is one of the selections being performed by Whipple and Morales. In addition to this popular work, their program will also include Bach’s Concerto in C Major for Two Pianos and Strings.
