"The most astonishing performance we have ever staged. While measuring up magnificently in sheer musical quality to any of our other concerts, CarmenCo's A Pocket Opera soared fantastically beyond anything that you could call just a concert" - Aberdeen Chamber Music Concerts review Nov 2025CarmenCo
Sunday 11 October 3pm
Single concert - ticket £16 U21s £8
Emily Andrews flautist/mezzo
David Massey & Francisco Correa guitars
CarmenCo’s new show, "My My My Delilah!" will be ready in Autumn 2026, and already has promoters queueing up to book it after the success of their “A Pocket Opera” which was hugely popular when it came to Rook Lane Chapel in 2024.
70% music and 30% spoken word, My My My Delilah! is a riotous concert-play in which the Bible's most notorious femme fatale finally gets to tell her side of the story. What really motivated her betrayal of Samson? Was she chasing fame, settling scores, or simply fed up with all that hair?
Packed with virtuosic live music, sharp comedy and unexpected twists, this irreverent tale of rivalry, superstardom, power and vanity features music from some of opera's greatest hits, ingeniously reimagined for CarmenCo Trio's unique combination of flute/voice and two guitars.
The new show from the trio behind A Pocket Opera, My My My Delilah! is a witty, exhilarating mix of classical music, storytelling and comedy that audiences won't forget.
As with A Pocket Opera, the three musicians perform entirely from memory, enabling them to act with each other, and to engage the audience members in the show. It's a brilliantly accessible and fun way to present classical music.

“[Chelys Consort] played with passion, precision and brilliance”
“Fair Oriana were utterly captivating and gave a heartfelt & fascinating performance from start to finish!””
Chelys Consort with Fair Oriana
Sunday 29 November 3pm
Special full length concert
Single concert ticket £25 U21s £12.50
Chelys Consort: Ibrahim Aziz, Jenny Bullock, Kate Conway, Alison Kinder, Sam Stadlen
Fair Oriana: Angela Hicks & Penelope Appleyard
We are thrilled to bring you two well established ensembles in an exciting collaboration. The beautiful, clear voices of Fair Oriana join forces with Chelys Consort of Viols to bring A Musical Menagerie, Renaissance, Jacobean and Stuart songs and instrumental pieces that feature animals. There are madrigals about shepherdesses and their sheep, sacred pieces that include a serpent and a dragon, and a couple of lovely songs by Dowland in his 400th anniversary year.
Chelys have garnered a reputation for their faithful yet fresh interpretations of the consort repertoire. The members of Chelys are among the UK’s leading exponents of the viol, particularly as a consort instrument, and their consort viols are strung entirely in gut (not strings overwound with metal), which lends them a particularly distinctive sound. They have played with ensembles across the world of Early Music including Fretwork, Ensemble Moliere, the Rose Consort of Viols, the Linarol Consort; teaching on courses including for the Benslow Trust, NORVIS, the Irish Recorder and Viol Summer School, and the Easter Early Music Course; and coaching viol consorts at Morley College, the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music.
Specialist early music sopranos Angela Hicks and Penelope Appleyard formed Fair Oriana in 2019, and, together with their instrumental colleagues, mix historical music with entertaining staging, contemporary influences and, varying genres such as folk, jazz and cross-over.
They perform their chamber programmes in concert series around the UK and internationally. These have included the Three Choirs Festival, the Ryedale Festival, Sherborne Abbey Festival, the Resonanzen Festival at Wien Konzerthaus and many others. They have appeared three times in the Mozartsaal of Vienna's Konzerthaus. They have appeared on Women's Radio Station's Future Classic Women Awards, BBCRadio 3, Classic FM online, BBC Radio Norfolk and are played regularly on Ancient FM. They were selected for Musica's International Young Artist Presentation in 2021, to have been finalists in the NCEM International Young Artists Competition 2022.
