The French-Italian mezzo-soprano Lea Desandre studied with Sara Mingardo and honed her craft at William Christie's "Jardin des voix" academy. Since being named "Vocal Discovery of the Year" at the Victoires de la Musique Classique 2017, she has been adored by internationally renowned opera houses and festivals. She cultivates her love for the delicate art of lieder singing with her partner, lutenist Thomas Dunford. Their program "Idylle" includes French love songs from three centuries, from baroque masters such as Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Offenbach and Debussy to two icons of chanson, Barbara and Françoise Hardy. While Lea Deandre conveys facets of love such as longing, happiness and melancholy with her supple mezzo-soprano, Thomas Dunford accompanies these songs on his lute with stylistic confidence and nuance. A distinctive, cross-epochal mixture that lives entirely from the change of styles and temperaments and traces the "idyllic" - très beau!
