Folias Duo

“Theirs is a music that transcends genre and ultimately brands itself as Folias Duo music, full stop.” — Textura on Heartdance

Folias Duo—flutist-composer Carmen Maret and guitarist-composer Andrew Bergeron—is a composer–performer ensemble celebrated for blending classical, jazz, world music, and improvisation into a singular voice. Their album Great Lakes draws on the landscapes, cultures, and rhythms of North America’s Great Lakes region, continuing their exploration of expressive flute-and-guitar music.

Over two decades, Folias Duo has performed 700+ concerts worldwide, presenting 70+ original works, including multi-flute combinations and West African tambin.

As educators, Maret and Bergeron mentor musicians at all levels, sharing their approach to craft, creativity, and independence. Their artistry reflects an intentional, independent model—emphasizing intimate venues, sustainable touring, and DIY production rooted in craftsmanship, community, and connection.
