CarmenCo is an ensemble comprising Emily Andrews, flautist/mezzo; David Massey & Francisco Correa, guitars. Exploiting the rich textures and varied instrumentation available to us with two guitars and voice or flute, as well as our love of arranging music, we have developed a truly unique programme of Spanish and Spanish-inspired music, centered around but not limited to music from Bizet’s opera Carmen.
The trio performs this repertoire in two contexts: a concert version (also called CarmenCo) which follows closely the story of Bizet’s Carmen; and as the musical element of “Creating Carmen”, a concert/play written by Clare Norburn about Prosper Mérimée, touring in 2019-21 with support from Arts Council England.
