Duo Beija Flor: Enchanting Ethno-Classical Fusion of Guitar and Flute
Marie-Noelle Choquette and Charles Hobson
Montreal-based Charles Hobson and Marie-Noelle Choquette are the innovative guitar and flute Duo Beija-Flor. Together, they present a dynamic and beautiful repertoire of classical works inspired by cultures from around the world in a style they call ethno-classical.
They traveled to Buenos Aires to refine their arrangements of Astor Piazzolla’s “Escualo” and “Oblivion”, worked to understand Romanian musical language for their arrangement of Bartok’s “Romanian Folk Dances” and recently embraced the 1929 Japanese classic Haru no umi ( Sea in the Spring) by Miyagi. Their multiple recordings and international performances continue to win awards and rave reviews. Hailed by San Francisco’s Flute View magazine as “…an incredibly dynamic and creative team“, the duo is known for their “masterful arrangements” (Flute Quarterly, USA).
