Emily Andrews studied Maths at Cambridge University before following her heart and becoming a full time musician. She graduated in 2010 with Distinction from her Masters degree in flute performance at the Royal Academy of Music, where she studied with Clare Southworth and Kate Hill. Since graduating from the RAM she has been studying classical singing with acclaimed teacher Neil Baker.
Emily’s musical tastes and influences are far-reaching — equally at home with classical, folk or world music, and playing panpipes, quena, whistles, flutes and violin as well as singing; her career is varied.
Emily is a passionate chamber musician, performing regularly with her prizewinning guitar and flute/voice duo (The Andrews Massey Duo), which has brought out three CDs and performed in Sweden, Germany and Italy as well as the UK. Following their Tunnell Trust Award in 2013 they have developed particularly good links with the Scottish music clubs, resulting in regular concerts and tours of Scotland. The duo has performed at many of the UK’s most prestigious venues including Colston Hall, Kings Place Hall 1, St James Piccadilly, Wigmore Hall, Lytham St Annes, and St Martin in the Fields.
Emily is also part of an exciting trio called CarmenCo (flute/voice and two guitars) which is currently touring the UK performing their own, great fun pocket-opera as well as offering more traditional concerts. This trio won generous Arts Council Funding in 2019 to develop and tour a larger concert-play called Creating Carmen, which toured to Buxton Festival as well as Brighton, Liverpool, Bristol and the West Country. They arrange their own music, and are renowned for their varied programming.
She has a strong interest in Latin-American music, and performs and records this music with her husband Francisco Correa. This duo are currently touring the UK with a programme of Colombian music called "Music from the land of 1000 rhythms". Francisco and Emily set up and run a community Brazilian-music band called Clube do Choro Bristol, as well as running Ham Farm Festival – a cross-genre summer music festival just outside Bristol where they live.
Emily is also much in demand as an orchestral freelancer: she has performed with many of the UK’s professional orchestras, including Welsh National Opera, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Scottish Opera, the Philharmonia Orchestra, Opera North, Multi-Story Orchestra and the Oxford Philharmonic.
Emily is passionate about sharing music with everyone, and as such is an enthusiastic and playful workshop leader and classroom music teacher: in lockdown she completed a course in music leading with Spitalfields Music, and she strives to use this approach in all her teaching - enabling the students to find their own voice and be creative through their instrument, rather than just play the instrument. Her classes have composed entire raps and songs together, made fifes from carrots, played musical grandmas footsteps and duck duck goose, and all of her students can improvise.
