Etherea Duo is Ambra and Anastasia, a harp and violin pairing based in northern Italy and playing across Lake Como, Lake Garda and beyond.

The combination is defined by the harp's delicacy and light against the warm, expressive voice of the violin, which together produce something elegant without ever being intrusive. Their repertoire runs from classical refinement to international pop and more unusual choices, and they do something genuinely inventive too, improvising live harp and violin over modern rhythmic backing tracks, which works well over an aperitivo or a dinner that wants some movement.

We love them for couples who want the ceremony and drinks elevated, played by two musicians with real classical grounding.

Good to know: the live improvisation over backing tracks is worth asking about if you want something more contemporary than a traditional string set.
