Duo Festudgioso Concert

Duo Festudgioso presents a diverse program for flute and guitar, exploring music from the Baroque to the contemporary era. The concert opens with Vivaldi’s elegant Sonata in F major, followed by the lyrical richness of Villa-Lobos in Bachianas brasileiras No. 5 and Distribuição de flores. Frederic Hand’s The Maverick brings modern rhythms and expressive interplay, and the program concludes with Piazzolla’s Histoire du Tango, a vivid journey through the evolution of tango from its early roots to the concert stage of today.

Duo Festudgioso is a San Diego–based flute and guitar duo formed by flutist Dr. Yana Yan and guitarist Dr. Ming-Jui Liu. The ensemble brings together the warm, intimate sonorities of flute and guitar, presenting music that is expressive, colorful, and approachable. Their repertoire spans Classical and Romantic works, folk-inspired melodies, and the rhythmic vitality of tango. Duo Festudgioso has performed at venues throughout Southern California, including Roxbury Community Center (Beverly Hills), Encinitas Library, Encinitas Community and Senior Center, and La Jolla/Riford Library.
