Fika Duo: IGF Young Artists Platform
9 October, 2025 @ 8:10 pm – 9:00 pm British Summer Time
This concert is promoted in partnership with the International Guitar Foundation (IGF).
The Fika Duo was formed in September 2023 by guitarist Zoë Meadowcroft and flautist Emma Lörstad in their first year at the Royal Academy of Music, where they both hold scholarships. Since their debut performance at the Academy, they have aimed to build a unique concert repertoire through new arrangements and collaborations with composers, including new works written by Zoë, as well as highlighting under-represented areas of the existing repertoire.
The name ‘Fika Duo’ comes from the Swedish tradition of ‘fika’, to take a break in one’s day to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea and something sweet – Emma and Zoë’s secret weapon for long rehearsals.
