Folias Duo

GSSO is excited to present the Folias Duo, a guitar and flute duo celebrating the release of their new album Heartdance.

Flutist Carmen Maret and guitarist Andrew Bergeron of the Folias Duo are a married couple whose unique interpersonal performer-composer collaboration of twenty years breathes new life into classical music. Folias Duo melds characteristics of European classical music with jazz, world music, and improvisation into the rhythms, contours, and textures of their meticulously crafted and scenic music. As composers and performers, they continue to test the technical and sonic possibilities of the intimate flute and guitar combination.

“Facile players who draw on tango rhythms and melodies sometimes, at other times they write with a scenic sensitivity” (Fanfare Magazine)

“These two artists are top talents, almost singular within contemporary flute and guitar ensembles” (Flutist Quarterly)

“Daring in self-written music” (American Record Guide)
