FABUALE is an artistic and musical research project focused on the poetic and performative exploration of the deep connection between Nature and Music. Born from the encounter between the evocative lyricism of trumpeter and flugelhornist Dario Savino Doronzo and the visionary energy of pianist and composer Livio Minafra, the project unfolds through a sound language that reflects and transforms the natural environment into an acoustic landscape, in a constant dialogue between perception, memory, and imagination. From a formal perspective, the project weaves together chamber music, contemporary jazz, rock influences, Eastern sonorities, and classical roots, creating a performative flow rich in timbral nuances and dynamic tensions. The performance by Duo Doronzo | Minafra takes shape as an immersive and synesthetic experience, able to communicate with the audience through sound, gesture, and deep listening. It goes beyond aesthetic dimension, presenting itself as a reflective and poetic act on the relationship between humans and the environment, generating soundscapes that echo the unpredictability of nature itself. A delicate yet urgent invitation to listen to the Earth with the ears of the heart.

The duo has performed at prestigious festivals, universities, and concert venues across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, including the Jerash Festival for Culture & Arts (Jordan); Mondo.NYC (USA); the Assembleia Legislativa and Museu de Arte Contemporânea (MUDAS) in Madeira (Portugal); the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre – Balcony Theatre (Vilnius, Lithuania); Kristiania University of Applied Sciences (Oslo, Norway); the University of Cape Town, the University of Fort Hare – Miriam Makeba Centre of Performing Arts (KuGompo City), Rhodes University – Beethoven Room (Makhanda), and Nelson Mandela University (Gqeberha), South Africa; the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts & University of the Arts Singapore; and the Auditorium Parco della Musica (Rome, Italy), among others. Both members of the ensemble currently teach Jazz Trumpet and Jazz Piano at Italian Conservatories of Music.
