Flutist Carmen Maret and guitarist Andrew Bergeron of the Folias Duo are a married couple based in Grand Rapids, Michigan whose unique interpersonal performer-composer collaboration of seventeen years breathes new life into classical music. Praised as “facile players who draw on tango rhythms and melodies sometimes, at other times they write with a scenic sensitivity” (Fanfare Magazine) and “daring in self-written music” (American Record Guide), Folias Duo melds characteristics of European classical music with jazz, world music and the art of improvisation. The rhythms, contours, and textures of their meticulously crafted and scenic music continue to test the technical and sonic limitations of the intimate �flute and guitar combination.
