ETÉREA DUO brings together flautist Alexia Pasquariello and harpist Clara Gatti Comini in a collaboration shaped by colour, storytelling and a shared curiosity for lesser-heard repertoire. Formed through their mutual love of chamber music, the duo explores the unique sound world of flute and harp, a combination capable of both intimacy and brilliance, transparency and richness. Their mission is to champion under-represented works and composers, while presenting programmes that reveal the expressive beauty and versatility of the flute and harp together. Etérea Duo seeks to create musical experiences that feel imaginative, poetic and deeply connected to audiences.

Alexia Pasquariello is a London-based flautist whose work is shaped by a love of storytelling, colour and collaboration. A recent postgraduate alumna of the Royal Academy of Music, she is building a varied freelance career in the UK as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestral player and educator.

She has appeared as a soloist with orchestras including the Bucharest Symphony Orchestra, Pitești Symphony Orchestra and Dorset County Orchestra. Her orchestral experience includes principal, second flute and piccolo roles with the Royal Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra, Royal Academy of Music Chamber Orchestra, Young Musicians Symphony Orchestra and Odyssey Festival Orchestra.
