Waterford Concert Series 2010
Ever since fire destroyed the
Old School auditorium in January 2007, the Waterford Concert
Series has been homeless. Musicians, friends, and neighbors
are rallying again in 2010 to make possible a brilliant sixteenth season
in Waterford and Leesburg. A world-famous guitar-flute duo
begins the season March 21, followed in April by a chamber
orchestra. Young virtuosi perform in June. The season
finale will be a fall grand opera showcase.
Children under 12 admitted free.

The village
of Waterford and the surrounding 1,420 acres of farmland were designated
in 1970 by the National Park Service as the Waterford National
Historic Landmark District. The Waterford Foundation is dedicated
to preserving this treasured piece of America’s heritage.

Two beautiful historic churches and the stage on the new
campus of Loudoun Country Day School have been provided as
temporary concert halls. Thanks to everyone responsible for
these fine venues. A special thanks to our sponsors and donors.
Support for the concert series contributes to the Waterford
Foundation and its effort to rebuild our lost auditorium.
Although more than half the funds needed to break ground
on the new Waterford Old School Culture and Education Center
have been raised, hard times have slowed fundraising. The
Raise the Roof campaign continues; maybe construction will
begin in 2010. Meanwhile glorious music is heard. Please
join us Sunday afternoons at four to hear outstanding concerts.
Watch for special fundraising events to benefit the Raise
the Roof campaign. |

Denis Azabagic, guitar, and Eugenia Moliner, flute, have electrified
audiences in North America, Europe, and Asia with memorable concerts.
Married and based in Chicago, these two grew up in Bosnia and Spain;
her Spanish passion and his Balkan sensibility inspire their performances.
Denis Azabagic has won eleven international competitions and accolades
from Soundboard Magazine, which called him a “virtuoso with flawless technique.” Cavatina
Duo has four CDs out to date, and the pair has been interviewed
and praised in major music publications. Their repertoire includes
music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and contemporary periods.
