INTESA DUO – viols & voice

BOOK TICKETS FOR INTESA DUO ‘Voices of San Lazzaro’ Intesa is a duo for voice and viol formed by Lucine Musaelian and Nathan Giorgetti in 2023 at the Royal Academy of Music. The ensemble’s name, an Italian word meaning ‘understanding’ or ‘meeting of minds’, reflects the collaborative ethos at the heart of their work. Their programmes place folk and early music repertoire side by side, bringing together European and Armenian traditions through narrative and self-accompanied performance. For their Festival debut, they reference the Armenian monastery, San Lazzaro degli Armeni, in the Venetian lagoon, where (since 1717) monks and scholars have gathered to preserve the traditions of early Christianity and chant. Their Voices of San Lazzaro programme explores the union of Armenian and Italian traditions, weaving together a story of Armenian faith and a female story of musical prowess in the Italian courts, featuring works by the Caccini sisters, Barbara Strozzi, and Monteverdi alongside the Armenian ashugh tradition of storytelling through song. Tickets are available per concert, as an evening season pass (including 4 evening concerts) or for the full weekend (including all 8 concerts) . EVENING PASS WEEKEND PASS LFF Priority Booking Opens: Platinum/Founder/Millennium/Gold – 21st July | Silver/Bronze – 28th July | General Booking Opens – 4th August
