After studying piano, Davide Iurilli graduated with highest honors (110 e lode) at the Conservatorio G. Verdi in Milan, where he completed his Bachelor’s degree in Harpsichord and Historical Keyboards. He is currently pursuing a Master’s degree at the same institution under the guidance of Professors Anna Fontana, Chiara Tiboni and Attilio Cremonesi.

His artistic focus centers on the performance practice of Baroque solo harpsichord and ensemble repertoire, with particular emphasis on improvisation and basso continuo playing.

He has gained valuable experience through numerous masterclasses and seminars with renowned artists such as Pierre Hantaï, Olivier Baumont, Attilio Cremonesi, Ton Koopman, Barbara Willi, Emilia Fadini, Luca Guglielmi, Catalina Vicens, Enrico Baiano.

In 2020, he won first prize at the composition competition “Il Tuo Concorso.”

He has taken part in various concert productions around Europe, performing both as a soloist and continuo player. Highlights include the annual Primavera Antica concert series, featuring 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 ClassMusic project.

Between 2024 and 2025, he collaborated with director and professor Magna Ferreira in two productions in Porto, Portugal. The first focused on rediscovering previously unknown works by Frei Francisco de S. Boaventura, while the second explored Alessandro Scarlatti’s oeuvre, particularly as a continuo player in the performance of Caino e Abele.

Under the mentorship of Professors Anna Fontana and Noelia Reverte Reche, he conducted D. Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri as Maestro al Cembalo.

In recent months, he performed as a continuo player in G. F. Handel’s La Resurrezione, under the direction of Attilio Cremonesi, and took part in Scarlatti’s Il Giardino di Rose, again directed by Cremonesi.

In 2025, he also participated in the 57th Urbino Festival (Urbino Musica Antica), further enriching his artistic experience.

He intends to continue deepening his study of basso continuo, engaging with both historical sources and a wide range of instrumental and vocal Baroque repertoire.
