MUSICIAN, the magazine of the Musicians' Union, chose The Ancora Duo for their 'In Focus' section of the review pages, p.42 of the Autumn 2009 magazine. I'm sure you will agree it was a great confidence booster for our first release together!

The Ancora Duo - Review - Norman Payne
On Saturday 26th September the audience at the Minster were spellbound by the recital given by The Ancora Duo – the combination of the award winning flautist, Anne Allen and the multi-talented Sarah Freestone who on these occasions plays guitar but who could play a different instrument each day of the week providing she had time spare from composing, conducting, directing, etc., etc.
The most well-known piece was the Fauré Pavane, the melody of which was well suited to Anne’s hauntingly beautiful and flawless flute playing. Other items in the programme ranged from Bach; the 18th Century guitar pioneer, Christian Scheidler, and a variety of works from the Latin countries superbly played by both artists with Sarah particularly prominent in the Spanish/Argentine compositions.
As they might say in sports reporting -‘the gals done well’.
Come back soon!
