Sephardic Journey<br />
Sunday, April 17 at 2 pm<br />
Husband and wife musicians Eugenia Moliner,<br />
flute, and Denis Azabagic, guitar, are dedicated<br />
soloists and chamber musicians. As the<br />
internationally acclaimed Cavatina Duo, they have<br />
performed in major venues around the world—<br />
from the Ravinia Festival here at home to the<br />
National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing.<br />
For their new Cedille Records CD, they<br />
commissioned new compositions inspired<br />
by Sephardic music from the Jews of Spain.<br />
For this <strong>Spring</strong> <strong>Spertus</strong> Concert, they<br />
will perform these works joined by<br />
special guests Desirée Ruhstrat and<br />
David Cunliffe of the Lincoln Trio.<br />
The musicians will be signing CDs<br />
following the performance.<br />
Reserved seating.<br />
$18 | $10 for <strong>Spertus</strong> members | $8 for students and <strong>Spertus</strong> alumni<br />

The musical program will include new pieces based on traditional<br />
Sephardic melodies as well as a work based on The Tumblers,<br />
a short story by award-winning writer Nathan Englander.<br />
This project was born of profound personal discovery for Eugenia Moliner<br />
(who is from Spain) and Denis Azabagic (from Bosnia), when both found<br />
out as adults that their families descended from Spanish Jews.<br />
Brookdale Lake Shore Drive Senior Living Solutions<br />
