Mellor-Redsaw Duo
The Mellor-Redshaw Duo are an ensemble based in London consisting of clarinettist Andy Mellor and bassoonist Holly Redshaw. After first collaborating as part of their wind quintet, Festivo Winds, Holly and Andy subsequently began performing as a duo. In their personal freelance careers they have performed with orchestras including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, CBSO, Hallé and BBC NOW. They perform widely as a duo both at recital series across the South East, and as Live Music Now Artists, delivering concerts and workshops in settings such as SEND schools, hospitals and care homes to those less able to access music readily.
The Mellor-Redshaw Duo present imaginative programmes of music for clarinet and bassoon, featuring creative arrangements ranging from operatic arias and classical duos, to folk music and jazz classics.
Andy also has roots as a saxophonist and brings the jazz influence to the duo, and Holly is a keen folk-music explorer in her spare time.
