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.
