Intesa - Viols and Voice

About

The award-winning duo, Intesa, was formed at the Royal Academy of Music by Lucine Musaelian and Nathan Giorgetti, where they were Chamber Music Fellows in 2023-24. Nathan and Lucine, who is also an exceptional singer, have a shared passion for the sound of the viol (also referred to as the viola da gamba, or gamba) and its combination with the voice. The effect is stunning in its beauty and drama. They will perform a varied programme that includes traditional Armenian songs and music from the baroque period by Monteverdi, Strozzi and Handel, among others. 

Lucine Musaelian
Lucine Musaelian is an Armenian-American viola da gamba player, singer, and composer from New Jersey. She graduated from Yale University in 2020 with a B.A. in Music, and completed her M.A. in viol and voice at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel with Paolo Pandolfo and voice with Rosa Dominguez. She continued her viol studies with Jonathan Manson at the Royal Academy of Music. In London, Lucine performs with Jonathan Manson, Elizabeth Kenny, Phantasm, the Dunedin Consort, the Tallis Society, La Nuova Musica, and the BBC Philharmonic.

Nathan Giorgetti
Nathan obtained his Masters degree from the Royal Academy of Music in 2023, where he was a Christopher Hogwood Scholarship holder and specialised in historical performance on the viola da gamba and baroque cello. In 2023-24, he was Chamber Music Fellow at the Academy as part of Intesa. Since graduating, Nathan has worked with leading figures in the early music scene, including Philipe Herreweghe, Rachel Podger, Bjarte Eike, Michael Chance, Matthew Truscott and Pavlo Beznosiuk, as well as being accepted on the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's Experience scheme.
