This Season’s Programme

Lumas Winds are committed ambassadors for wind chamber music and the rich variety of repertoire it offers. Regularly featuring at festivals and music clubs up and down the UK, they have firmly established themselves at the forefront of the new generation of wind ensembles and have been described as an ‘effervescent wind quintet, lively in their performance style and enterprising in their choice of repertoire’ (Seen and Heard International). DMS is excited to welcome them to open our 2026-2027 season.

We are delighted to welcome back the world-renowned Danny Driver. One of Britain’s most respected pianists, Danny is recognised internationally for his sophistication, insight and musical depth, with a holistic approach inspired by studies at Cambridge University and the Royal College of Music. His breadth of repertoire and musical curiosity are relected in concert programmes and recordings exploring mainstream and neglected music from the baroque period through to the present day.

Popular duos programme to include the above

Recently featured artists on BBC Radio 3, the Chroma Harp Duo are crafting a name for themselves as commissioners, creators and performers. Drawing and engaging with a wide range of composers, musical styles and sounds, the duo challenge the classical harp stereotype with concerts that take audiences on a kaleidoscopic journey. It is a pleasure to welcome Bekki Luff and Lucy Nolan to the Denstone Music Society.

It has been 2 years since Jeneba played for us in our special event at JCB and we are happy to have her back to perform in our new home on our wonderful Steinway.
Jeneba is already captivating audiences with her “maturity in performance and interpretation” (Fraser). The third of the Kanneh-Mason clan to establish herself as a soloist, Jeneba recently made her BBC Proms debut with the Chineke! Orchestra, performing the Florence Price Concerto and was heralded by the press as “demonstrating musical insight, technical acuity, and an engaging performing persona” (Music OMH).

Programme will consist of early repertoire for viols and voice,
with some Armenian folk arrangements.

Intesa is a duo for voice and viol formed by Lucine Musaelian and Nathan Giorgetti, dedicated to exploring the rich relationship between voice and viol through self-accompanied performance. They are 2025 City Music Foundation Artists, and with the Foundation’s support have recently recorded their debut album, to be released on the Pelle d’Oca label in 2026.

Intesa was formed 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.
