Biography Duo Diversitas
Duo Diversitas
Musicians Evgeniya Spalinger (flute) and Marisa Minder (guitar) have enjoyed many years of intensive concert activities as a chamber music duo. Founded in 2015, Duo Diversitas was predestined for success: they won the 1st prize at the International Competition for Chamber Music with Guitar in Bale Valle, Croatia, in 2016 followed by the 1st prize at the International Competition Danubia Talents in Vac, Hungary, in 2017. Since then, they have been giving concerts all over Europe playing classical and contemporary concert repertoire, including for the concert series Neue Kammermusik in Fulda and Roter Salon in Vienna.
Recordings for SRF2 Radio Station and numerous premiere performances of the works by composers as Maxim Seloujanov, Max E. Keller and Art Oliver Simon clearly demonstrate the high artistic potential of Duo Diversitas.
The name Diversitas (from Latin “difference, contrast, variety”) reflects both the diversity of the repertoire (from Baroque and Romantic music, arrangements of well-known pieces and to the latest works composed for the duo) and the richness of sound that can only be achieved through virtuoso playing of these two instruments. Diversitas also refers to the two artists, the flautist from Russia and the guitarist from Switzerland, who complement each other perfectly in their differences.
