We played a concert together back in 1993, in Spain. “Denis and I met in Rotterdam in October of 1991, and we married in 1993. The duo has already added almost a dozen challenging pieces to the flute and guitar repertoire, but according to them this is just the tip of the iceberg.Ĭavatina Duo’s conception took place on a stage in Eugenia’s homeland of Spain. Their desire is for the guitar to always have intrinsic and complex harmonic lines, in equality with the flute. ![]() Establishing the validity for the flute and guitar duo is at the forefront of everything Cavatina sets out to accomplish. Their passion of commissioning, performing and recording substantial works for the flute and guitar combination is an inspiration for aspiring chamber groups everywhere. The NFA Convention is just one example of what the Cavatina Duo is about. The Duo concludes the evening’s program with the challenging Acrobats, by David Leisner and the famed Histoire du Tango by Piazzolla. These works were written and dedicated to Eugenia and Denis by Carlos Rafael Rivera, Alan Thomas, and Clarice Assad (daughter of above mentioned Sergio Assad). The next evening, Cavatina Duo plays an entire hour-long concert of newly commissioned works from the Balkan region, that of Denis’ homeland. Time seems to vanish and before I realize it, the two are called back to the stage again for an encore, once again visiting Piazzolla’s repetiore, playing Libertango. Their dynamic presence and musicianship is felt right away and the audience is soon transported into their world of strong conviction and passionate understanding of the tango in this four-movement piece. Cavatina Duo is set for another memorable performance. The lights dim as Eugenia Moliner and Denis Azabagic take the stage. Originally written by Piazzolla for his quintet of violin, bandoneon, electric guitar, piano, and bass this virtuosic piece was recently re-arranged for tonight’s duo performance by a longtime friend of Piazzolla, Sergio Assad a great guitarist and composer in his own right. I am immersed in thoughtful anticipation with the idea of seeing a world-class flute and guitar duo open up the convention, performing none other than Astor Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires. As the room begins to fill for the Opening Gala Concert at the 36th annual National Flute Convention in Kansas City, I take my seat in the audience and listen to the chatter around me. ![]()
