Fran & Flora

Unfurl Fran & Flora

Mesmerising London-based string duo.

Borne from the meeting point of the manifold interests of violinist Flora Curzon and cellist Francesca Ter-Berg, the duo's compositions and arrangements are infused with modes and forms from traditional Transylvanian, Klezmer, Romanian, Greek and Armenian music which they have studied for over a decade with teachers of such folk traditions. Threads of deep-rooted musics are neatly and uniquely braided with experimental electronics, ambient drones and vocal processing. The results - as evidenced on the glorious, entrancing Unfurl - are simultaneously reverent and authentic, deeply personal and intelligently informed.
