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.

Fran &amp; Flora approach their reinterpretation of styles and deliveries not by homage, but by interweaving. 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.

“The borders don’t exist anymore. The violinist Flora Curzon and cellist Francesca Ter- Berg go wandering across multiple genres, mixing Balkan modes with electronica and drone effects. The violinist Tcha Limberger is a role model, and the best of their pieces have the same lightness of touch. Don’t be deterred by the austerity, by the time the duo reach Romanian Fantasies, the rhythms are dancing.” - Sunday Times Culture Magazine
