  • Biography

    Emily Andrews and David Massey met in 2009 at the Royal Academy of Music while playing in the orchestra for a musical (David on the banjo, Emily on the piccolo). They decided to have a go on their usual instruments and quickly formed their duo partnership. Since then they have both graduated with Distinctions in their Masters degrees, and are now freelancing in London.
    
    As a duo they have gone from strength to strength: winners of a prestigious Tunnell Trust Award for 2012-2013; semi-finalists in the Royal Overseas League Competition in London in 2013 and 2012;  and regular performances, in a variety of settings, from lunchtime and evening recitals around the country (including Wigmore Hall, St Martin in the Fields, Kings Place and St James' Piccadilly) to hospital recitals and background music for corporate parties at the Tate Britain. 
    
    Emily and David play many different styles of music, and enjoy programming familiar favourites with lesser-known works. They actively commission new music, including 'Journey Home' by Scott Lygate, which was written for their Scottish Tour, and premiered in Stranraer on 31st January 2013. They also recently brought out their first CD, <A href=../fromtheroots.html>'...from the Roots'</A> of their own arrangements of British folk music, which is receiving excellent reviews.
