About Davide

After studying piano, Davide Iurilli is currently completing his harpsichord studies at the G. Verdi Conservatory in Milan, under the guidance of Professors Chiara Tiboni, Anna Fontana, and Attilio Cremonesi.

His artistic focus centers on the performance practice of Baroque solo harpsichord works, 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, Catalina Vicens, and Enrico Baiano.

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

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

Between 2024 and 2025, he collaborated with director and professor Magna Ferreira in two productions in Porto, Portugal. The first focused on bringing to light previously unknown works by Frei Francisco de S. Boaventura. The second involved an in-depth exploration of Alessandro Scarlatti’s oeuvre, particularly as a continuo player in the execution of Caino e Abele.

As a harpsichord director, he conducted Membra Jesu Nostri by D. Buxtehude under the mentorship of Professor Anna Fontana and Noelia Reverte Reche.

In recent months, he performed as a continuo player in a production of G.F. Handel’s La Resurrezione under the direction of Attilio Cremonesi.

In 2025, he also participated in the 57th Festival of Urbino, further enriching his artistic experience.

He intends to deepen his study of basso continuo by engaging with both contemporary sources and diverse styles of instrumental and vocal Baroque repertoire.
