Flutes and Frets

Classical Ensembles/Classical Duos

After first collaborating at the Royal College of Music, Beth Stone and Daniel Murphy founded the Flutes and Frets Duo in March 2021. They are a unique ensemble passionate about showing the versatility of the flute and plucked instruments combination with various different flutes and guitars/flutes/theorbo. With a set list ranging from medieval to contemporary pieces Beth and Daniel blend well known works with arrangements seldom heard outside of concert halls.

​

Working tirelessly to promote their chosen instruments and the rich history that surrounds them, they have been able to perform all over England and in Europe winning several International competitions. Accustomed to providing music for events at major locations like the National Gallery and private house gatherings and garden parties, they are experienced in giving occasions a special ambience and are sure to tailor every performance to the clients needs.

One of the main aims of the duo is to bring awareness to diverse audiences of the wide possibilities that this combination of instruments provides and also the variety of sounds that composers of every era would have intended their audiences to hear. Through this, they produce a unique sound palette by combining historically-informed performance with modern conventional performance.
