Lucine Musaelian is an Armenian-American viola da gamba player, singer and composer.

Lucine has a BA in Music from Yale University and completed her MA in Viol and Voice at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel with Paolo Pandolfo and Rosa Dominguez. In 2023, Lucine completed her Professional Diploma at the Royal Academy of Music, studying viola da gamba with Jonathan Manson. She co-founded the Intesa duo with Nathan Giorgetti, which was awarded the Academy's Chamber Music Fellowship in 2023/24.

Since moving to London, Lucine has performed with La Nuova Musica, Phantasm, the Dunedin Consort and the BBC Philharmonic. Her duo Intesa performs regularly in the UK and internationally in festivals including the York Early Music Festival, the Two Moors festival, the Resonanzen Festival in Vienna, the Utrecht Early Music Festival and the Residenz Woche festival in Münich. Lucine is a member of the Bellot Ensemble, which was recently selected to be the New Generation Baroque Ensemble from 2025-27, and was also named a Britten Pears Young Artist from 2025-26. She is also a member of the Idrisi Ensemble as a singer and vielle player and was featured as a soloist in the group’s performance at KOKO in Camden. Self-accompaniment in early music and Armenian music is an important element of Lucine’s practice and research, and is a feature of much of her performance life. Outside of performance, Lucine loves to teach.
