Events

We are thrilled to have been chosen to perform a lunchtime concert at this excellent festival in the Cotswolds. Chipping Campden is a very special market town, and the Festival that takes place there every summer (in whose orchestra Emily has played twice), is surely one of the top classical music festivals in the UK: almost all concerts sold-out, packed audiences, wonderful accoustic and exciting atmosphere.

We will be peforming a lunchtime concert, which runs from 1.05 - 2.05pm, and entry is £5. More information and booking is available on the Festival website.

Our programme will be almost entirely classical music, including David's beautiful Schubert arrangements and our favourite Mozart K330 sonata.

We're doing the early concert in the foyer, before the Sacconi Quartet's main concert in Hall 1, also promoted by the London Chamber Music Society. We'll be performing Schubert songs and Mozart's K330 Sonata, both to link with the Sacconi Quartet's concert afterwards (which contains Beethoven and Haydn), and to promote our CD "Stolen Serenades". It's free, and there's a nice bar, so please come along.

This is a lovely monthly recital series, with free entry, and a focus on family enjoyment. Having played there once before with the Brillig Ensemble, I was amazed at the number of children in the audience, who had dressed up for the occasion, behaved perfectly, and clearly adored the music. David and I will do a short programme (35- 40 minutes) of accessible music, which will be a treat for all ages. Please come, and tell friends who live in the area.

We have been accepted to perform and compete in this highly-regarded international competition for guitar chamber music, held every two years in Aschaffenburg, Germany. We have a challenging programme, including some new repertoire, and are busy working towards this exciting event already. We will let you know how we do! (Facebook and twitter updates from Germany - follow @duo_am)

This is our first Carmen Co show! We are joined by guitarist Francisco Correa .

Carmen is a charater who is well known, and who fascinates both men and women. She's a selfish, ruthless and gorgeous femme fatale who all the men admire, and who switches lovers frequently, leaving destruction in her wake. So we have taken this character, and are setting our own story, with the hoards of admirers represented by the two guitarists, and also the audience. Our Carmen oscillates between the guitarists for her preference, and they in turn compete for her attentions. All of this is portrayed through Spanish music as there's no script. A duet is a conversation, virtuoso passages are showing off or competing. Who will she choose?

Music performed on two guitars, voice and flute, and includes arias from the opera Carmen, as well as instrumental works by De Falla, Boccherini, Rodrigo and Bizet.

We and Francisco Correa are going to be performing our CarmenCo concert in Ayr, as part of our October 2021 Scottish tour! This is the music from the show Creating Carmen, but a concert-only version involving only us three musicians without actors, (although we may still perform in costume and character...!)

CDs will be available after the concert for £15 each - the money from CD sales helps towards funding our touring, enabling us to get to more places like Ayr.
