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".
Since leaving the RAM Emily has been studying classical singing with acclaimed vocal teacher Neil Baker. She increasingly includes songs in her flute recitals, adding contrast and colour to her already varied programming.
Her prize-winning flute and guitar duo, the Andrews Massey Duo, now has a third CD. For more information, please visit: www.emilyandrewsflute.com

We will be opening our concert with the Premier Concert in C minor. The first of the videos below is a performance on period instruments by three performers at the Fundación Juan March in Madrid, Spain.
Then follows the quartet Il Giardino Armonico with the Fugue from Concert no 5 in D major.
Then follows the quartet Il Giardino Armonico with the Fugue from Concert no 5 in D major.
Rameau was fairly flexible on instrumentation for these pieces. This third example introduces a flute into the quatuor.
It is the second movement La Timide / The shy lady from Pièce No 3 in A minor, played by Serge Saïtta, flûte (Rameau was fine with a recorder-flute too), Patrick Cohën-Akenine, violin, Nima Ben David, viola da gamba, and Béatrice Martin, clavecin/harpsichord.

Next follow Schumann's Three Romances for Oboe and Piano.
The performers on the left, at the 2010 Stavanger International Chamber Music Festival, are oboist Christoph Hartmann, with the very experienced accompanist Kathryn Stott.
Or would you like to hear how Jasmine Choi performs the work on flute, with Hugh Sung at the piano ? This comes from a live concert in the New World Center, Miami, in 2015.
Or shall we move to South Korea where Han Kim plays the same work on clarinet, with pianist Woori Ko, as part of his 2013 Kumho Art Hall Rising Stars Series recital ?

These three artistes are bringing us a lot of little gems, little treats. And the next item is no exception!
The specific sonata from Six Duets for Two Flutes does not seem to be available online.
Here instead is a delightful taster - as ever, the instrumentation is flexible,
whatever treble instruments you have to hand, really.
From the Baroque Room, St Paul, Minnesota, we hear Telemann's Sonata in D, with Jin Kim, Baroque violin, and Immanuel Davies, Baroque flute (both instruments and their manner of playing are worth observing too):

All good things must come to an dend of course. But just wait until you hear what a superb end the trio have planned for us. Saint-Saëns' Tarantelle comes to us in two vesion here. Firstly the original orchestra, flute and clarinet on the left with Andriy Karpyak, flute, Vasyl Boretskyj, clarinet and the “Inso-Lviv” Symphony Orchestra, under conductor Sergiy Horovets.
Then on the right you can have the joy of following the score in a version which substitutes piano for the orchestra while retaining all the excitement of the two solo parts:
