Francisco Correa
|
It was one of the most musical musical performances of the Concerto de Aranjuez that I can remember, sensitive and transparent, seemingly effortless
Phillip Woodfield Colombian born classical guitarist Francisco Correa moved to Europe to study in 2006. He graduated in 2015 from his Masters degree at the Royal Academy of Music. A prizewinner in many classical guitar competitions, he has also been awarded the Médaille d’Or as well as the Prix de Perfectionnement in France where Francisco studied with Judicael Perroy. A regular recital soloist, Francisco has also performed many concertos with orchestra: most notably the Aranjuez concerto in St Martin in the Fields; the Aranjuez concerto live on Colombian radio and television with the Bogota Philharmonic Orchestra; and in November he will perform the Latin American premiere of Steve Goss’s Guitar concerto (2012) with the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional in Bogotá. Alongside his solo career, Francisco is an enthusiastic chamber musician. He is currently touring the country with his trio CarmenCo, providing the music for the new concert-play Creating Carmen, which has received generous funding from arts council of England. Francisco also works regularly as a multi- instrumentalist in orchestras and in particular has worked regularly with Glyndebourne Opera. His debut CD, a collection of classical guitar music by young Colombian composers, contains many original compositions, some dedicated to Francisco himself, and will be launched in 5 countries. |

David Massey
David Massey began his studies with David Burden at his local music centre in Hertfordshire. In 2006 he was the strings finalist in the BBC Young Musician competition, performing Rodrigo’s Fantasia para un gentilhombre live on BBC Two from the Sage Gateshead.
He went on to study at the Royal Academy of Music with Michael Lewin, where he graduated with distinction in 2010 and furthered his studies with an MMus in 2012. During this time he continued to perform guitar recitals at venues such as Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, Sage Gateshead, King’s Place, St Martin in the Fields, and expanded his musical experience in chamber music and orchestral playing, taking up instruments such as mandolin and banjo in orchestral, music theatre and operatic music from Mozart and Respighi to John Adams and Peter Maxwell Davies.
His solo performances have been described as “intense and intimate”, marked by a “remarkable energy and range of tone and dynamics”. On hearing his playing, Julian Bream praised his sound and communication of musical structure. He has received tuition and masterclasses from David Russell, Fabio Zanon, John Mills and Timothy Walker, combining a love for both the traditional guitar repertoire as well as contemporary and new works, of which he has premiered several. From performances in multi-storey car parks to art galleries, he is a musician willing to take risks and try new approaches.
In 2009 he met flautist Emily Andrews and founded the Andrews Massey Duo (www.andrewsmasseyduo.com), with which he has released three acclaimed CDs and toured extensively. Their video of David’s arrangement of Schubert’s Standchen has over 244,000 views on YouTube (making it one of the most watched flute and guitar videos), and the sheet music has been downloaded and played by other guitar and flute duos all around the world.
Together with Emily Andrews and Francisco Correa, David formed the trio CarmenCo, who in 2019 began touring Creating Carmen, a concert/play written by Clare Norburn, supported by a grant from Arts Council England to take the show around the country over the next two years.
Since graduating David has also developed a strong teaching portfolio, ranging from private one-on-one tuition to small group guitar lessons in comprehensive primary schools, passionately advocating classical guitar to a new generation.
