About Davide
After the study of piano, Davide Iurilli is currently nearing the completion of studies in harpsichord at the Conservatorio G. Verdi in Milan, under the guidance of Professors Chiara Tiboni, Anna Fontana, and Attilio Cremonesi.
His artistic focus is currently centered on the performance practice of Baroque works for solo harpsichord, with particular emphasis on improvisation and basso continuo playing.
He had the opportunity to gain valuable experience through numerous masterclasses and seminars, including with Pierre Hantaï, Olivier Baumont, Attilio Cremonesi, Ton Koopman, Barbara Willi, Emilia Fadini, Catalina Vicens and Enrico Baiano.
In 2020 he won the First Prize in the composition competition "Il Tuo Concorso".
He has taken part in various concert productions, performing as a soloist and as a continuo player.
One highlight has been the annual concert series Primavera Antica, where he performed sonatas by Domenico and Alessandro Scarlatti, as well as works by G. F. Handel and J. S. Bach.
He also had the opportunity to perform at the Teatro della Concordia in Monte Castello di Vibio — the smallest Italian-style theatre — opening the project Class Music.
Furthermore, he participated in a production in Porto, Portugal, in collaboration with director and professor Magna Ferreira, where previously unknown works by Frei Francisco de S. Boaventura were brought to light.
As harpsichord director, he conducted Membra Jesu Nostri by D. Buxtehude under the mentorship of Professor Anna Fontana.
In recent months, he also had the pleasure of performing as a continuo player in a production of G. F. Handel’s La Resurrezione under the direction of Attilio Cremonesi.
He intends to further deepen the study in basso continuo by engaging with both contemporary sources and the diverse styles of instrumental and vocal Baroque repertoire.
