ACMC: CarmenCo - Fountainhall at the Cross Church

Emily Andrews, flute/soprano, and David Massey and Francisco Correa, guitars.

Formed in 2017, prizewinning trio CarmenCo have performed all over England, Scotland and Wales, honing their distinctive approach and performing their own arrangements of orchestral pieces, opera, folk and world music. They often perform from memory and incorporate movement, dance and storyline into their concerts, as well as varying instrumentation from solo guitar through to voice/flute and two guitars, making their concerts and shows as unique and colourful as the players in the trio.

The trio will be presenting A Pocket Opera – a comedic concert presented as a play, with costumes, props and a storyline, roughly following Bizet’s Carmen, but told from her point of view and interspersing Bizet’s music with guitar duets.
