“The central purpose of Evangel’s Artist Series is to provide opportunities for students, faculty and staff to experience and enjoy the arts,” said Linda Ligate, professor of music.
“Skilled and innovative musicians, such as the Cavatino Duo, introduce their audience to compositions, composers, musical styles and performance practices from a variety of historical periods and cultures. They also model disciplines and musicianship that potentially inspire students.”
“We have a number of excellent flute music education and performance students in the department, so this performance will be particularly appealing to them,” Ligate said. “The Cavatino Duo collaborates and brings solo repertoire and unique ensemble arrangements for both flute and guitar.”
