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.
