Forming Duos:
Emily Andrews and Alice Rosset met at a music festival in Charentes, France in the summer of 2011 (where Emily also met her husband Francisco - it was a good week for meeting people!) Alice was the professional accompanist for the week, and Emily had gone to study with her flute hero of the time, Samuel Coles (now principal flute of the Philharmonia Orchestra in London).
They rehearsed and performed together during that first week, and since then have met and prepared pieces together each year at that same festival, where Emily is now flute professor, replacing Samuel Coles. This year they decided to take the duo relationship further and prepare a whole programme of music to take on tour. They have already performed in France, and in Faversham and West Hampstead before coming to Leatherhead for the final concert of their French music for flute and piano tour, perfectly timed to take place on Bastille Day !
However, this is not the end of the Andrews/Rosset duo - plans have already started for a Summer 2017 tour, including more festivals in France, so look out for us on your travels !

Emily Andrews, flute
In 2010 Emily Andrews graduated with Distinction from her Masters degree in flute performance at the Royal Academy of Music, where she studied with Clare Southworth and Kate Hill. An unusual career path: Emily’s first degree was in Mathematics at Cambridge University, and she worked as IT consultant for two years before becoming a full-time musician.
Emily is a passionate chamber musician as well as a soloist. She has performed second flute with the Philharmonia Orchestra, the London Concert Orchestra and Scottish Opera, among other orchestras, and she has performed recitals in many prestigious UK venues including the Wigmore Hall and St Martin in the Fields, as well as abroad.
Emily's "exquisite phrasing", beautiful singing tone and natural musicality have been noted by many prominent musicians, - Lorna McGhee, Ransom Wilson, Mark Van de Wiel, Neil Black OBE, and William Bennett OBE. The British Flute Society's review of her performance of the Liebermann flute concerto cited Emily as "definitely one of Britain's most promising young professionals".
Her prize-winning flute and guitar duo, the Andrews Massey Duo, recently brought out its third CD. For more information, please visit: www.emilyandrewsflute.com
Emily returns to LMC on November 24th this year, with her duo partner, the classical guitarist, David Massey. They will spend the morning at Leatherhead Trinity School as part of our project to bring the sight and sounds of professional musicians and their instruments.
