From the Eastern Gate tells stories of love, loss, and light, connecting Western European early music with traditional Armenian song through the universal art of self-accompaniment. With Giulio Caccini’s “Dalla Porta d’Oriente”, a new light is revealed from the east, and as we journey through scorching weather in the Armenian song “Hov Arek”, Strozzi and Dowland’s pleadings and unrequited love, and Cleopatra’s fateful loss − we finally reach the coming of a new season and renew our hope with “Morning Light” and “Shogher Jan.”
Intesa was formed at the Royal Academy of Music by Lucine Musaelian and Nathan Giorgetti. The duo celebrates the timeless combination of viol and voice, showcasing the art of self-accompaniment and storytelling. Intesa performs in the UK and Europe, with regular concerts at Handel Hendrix House and Fidelio Cafe, and a recent residency at the Ferrandou Musique Festival in France.
