Fred Cory studied at Vancouver Community College and at the University of Victoria where he earned a diploma in Jazz & Commercial music and a Bachelor of Music (flute performance) respectively. Since returning to his native Cobourg in 1995 he has become involved in the local music scene as a teacher and performer. At the time he was teaching woodwinds at TCS, instructing fledgling recorder players at Port Hope United Church and was busy in many and varied musical groups in the area, including the Northumberland Orchestra.
Ed Hoad began playing the guitar in his early teens. He plays a variety of styles, today concentrating mainly on classical guitar. He studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music with John Perrone, and privately with noted teacher Eli Kassener. In addition to the Cory-Hoad Duo, Ed is a member of the Bach Porch Trio (flute, cello, and guitar), an Oshawa area group. He lives in Port Hope, where he has a growing number of guitar students.
The Cory-Hoad Duo used to be heard playing flute and guitar duets at the Oasis Bar and Grill in Cobourg every Sunday night.
The other performer at this mini-concert was: Rod Anderson.
