They
perform entirely from memory. Concert tours abroad have included the major cities of
England, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Russia, Korea, China, and Taiwan.
Their orchestral engagements have included the Minnesota Orchestra, the Dublin Symphony,
the Orlando Symphony, and various orchestras in the Chicago, Detroit, and Washington
areas. They have given concerts in Carnegie Recital Hall in New York, and in the Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, among other great halls.
Other
Activities of Note
The Weekleys, honor graduates of the Indiana
University School of Music, taught for 28 years at the University of Wisconsin at LaCrosse,
and were given the permanent title "Treasures of the University" upon their
departure from that institution. As a part of their interest in the music education of young
people, they made several appearances on the "Captain Kangaroo" television
program, and continue to present workshops and master classes in the art of duet playing
throughout the world. They have held an international "Four-Hand Fest" for duet
enthusiasts every summer since 1980.

Dallas Weekley and Nancy Arganbright
are largely responsible
for the revival of interest in one-piano, four-hand performance, an art which began
in the eighteenth century and flourished in the Romantic era, the nineteenth century. Largely ignored as a concert medium in the early twentieth century, it was revived
in great part by Weekley and Arganbright (husband and wife), who made concert tours
throughout the USA and the world from 1960 to 2000. They have presented more piano duet
concerts than any other four-hand artists in the history of the medium, and are credited
with being "America's premier one-piano, four-hand team." - Clavier
