Eugenia Moliner and Denis Azabagic are a Chicago-based husband-and-wife flute and guitar duo who make music as the Cavatina Duo. Violinist Desirée Ruhstrat and cellist David Cunliffe, also a married couple, are both members of the Lincoln Trio, one of Chicago’s most celebrated chamber ensembles. In this Impromptu Encore from 2016, the quartet performed excerpts from their recent album on the Cedille label. “Sephardic Journey” consists of works inspired by Sephardic music, specially commissioned from some of today’s leading composers.
