Jean works with a variety of ensembles including:

FLUTE & HARP DUO

Emma-Louise Hible and Jean Kelly

Emma Louise and Jean began performing together as a duo while at the Royal College of Music. They work together regularly giving concerts as part of the 'Live Music Now!' scheme. They have toured the South East of England and Yorkshire and given a recital as part of the Chichester Festival. They have recently performed Mozart's 'flute and harp' concerto in St. Martin's-in-the-Field Church and in various theatres nationwide with the Locrian Chamber Ensemble. They have also recorded a CD with the group.

"Emma and Jean put on a first class performance. Clients and staff were pleased with the whole programme. It was pleasant to listen to and made a change to hear decent music."

Rentwood Day Centre

"We were absolutely delighted with Jean and Emma. Their music was absolutely beautiful and the fun and enjoyment which they obviously get from performing was contagious."

The basis of the group is five musicians but this can be expanded or modified to suit the particular requirements of the occasion. The group can provide music from three, for more intimate or solemn occasions, to seven musicians for concerts and dancing, including a 'dancing master' or 'caller'.
