Carrington-Brown are a British music and comedy duo formed in 2007 by cellist and singer Rebecca Carrington and singer-actor Colin Brown. They perform in a wide variety of musical styles spanning pop, Bollywood, opera and jazz and have been described as “elegant musical stand-up”. ==Background== Carrington won a scholarship to study at The Royal Northern College of Music and then went on to complete her Masters of Music at Rice University in Houston, Texas. It was whilst studying in the USA that Carrington first became involved in the comedy scene. She soon began performing at comedy clubs such as The New York Comedy Club and The Comedy Store, LA. She went on to perform on numerous high profile television and radio programs, plus festivals all over the UK and Europe. Prior to Carrington-Brown, she performed with many orchestras, such as the London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. It was during this time that she was encouraged to step out of the orchestra and on to the solo stage. As a freelance cellist she has played on film soundtracks, including Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and recorded with artists such as Aretha Franklin, Paul McCartney, David Byrne and Jill Scott. Brown began his performing career at the age of 25 when he was cast in the West End production of Carmen Jones. He went on to perform across varying genres on the stage, in film and television, radio and as a voice over artist. Brown has played roles in productions such as La Cage Aux Folles, Smokey Joe’s Café, Driving Miss Daisy and Les Enfants du Paradis with the Royal Shakespeare Company. In 1996, he became a member of the British a cappella group The Magnets, performing with them for over 10 years during which time they toured supporting Lisa Stanfield, Tom Jones and Michael Ball. Brown studied acting at the Rose Bruford Acting School in 1997, whilst continuing to perform professionally. In 2006, Brown joined Robbie Williams for his Close Encounters World Tour as a backing vocalist. Carrington and Brown met in Edinburgh in 2004 whilst they were both performing at the Fringe Festival and soon decided that they should become a duo. Brown spent a year directing Carrington in her one-woman show, which she took to Edinburgh in 2005 and 2006, but by 2007 they were performing together. They currently live in Berlin and perform internationally. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carrington-Brown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
