Concerts for Craswall present Flutes & Frets
The Flutes & Frets duo are a unique ensemble of members Beth Stone (flute/historical flutes) and Daniel Murphy (guitars/lutes/theorbo), who are passionate about showing the versatility of the flute and plucked instruments combination.
Their aim is to play all types of music on the instruments that were in use at the time of composition to bring awareness of the sounds that composers of every era would have intended their audiences to hear. They produce a special sound palette and cover a wide scope of repertoire ranging from medieval all the way through to contemporary. They also endeavour to expand the repertoire for flutes and plucked instruments by arranging music that has not yet been published for this combination and/or by commissioning new works.
They have performed all over Europe including at the Early Music Festival in Antwerp, which led to selection for an award from the European Festivals Fund for Emerging Artists and concerts in Antwerp, Krakow and York in autumn 2023. They have been awarded numerous prizes in international competitions, including recently being one of the three main prize winners of the 2023 International Biber Competition, as well as winning first prize in the 2021 La Follia Nuova International Chamber Music Competition.
Programme will include works by Dowland, Beethoven, Saint-Saëns, and Piazzolla, as well as selected Folk Tunes from the 17th & 18th century.
