The Fika Duo – Emma Loersted – Flute – Zoe Meadowcroft – Guitar

Students from The Royal Academy of Music

The Fika Duo was formed in 2023 by Emma Loerstad and Zoë Meadowcroft. Both
are current second year undergraduates studying music performance at the Royal
Academy of Music. The duo’s name comes from the Swedish ‘fika’, a break spent
with friends and family over a cup of coffee and cinnamon bun, regularly enjoyed
by Emma and Zoë after concerts and rehearsals.

Fika duo have played a wide range of repertoire in particular focusing on popular
music styles from South America. During their time at the Academy they hope to
explore new genres and styles of music, and expand the existing repertoire with
new commissions as well as their own compositions and arrangements.
