Conservatorio Statale di Musica of Cagliari (Italy)

“Exquisite control” — Baltimore Sun

Winner of the AGIMUS Prize in Rome, the Szeryng International Violin ompetition in Mexico, and the Grand Prix at the LISMA Foundation in New York City, among other numerous awards, Davide has been concertizing extensively. In the United States, de Ascaniis made his debut with the Gateway Orchestra in May 2014, prompting a Brooklyn Eagle reviewer to write: “His dazzling finger work, musicality, pizzicato and incredible cadenzas evoked the wizardry of Paganini.”

Following performances with symphonies under the baton of conductors such as

Masur, Chung, Krager, Rustioni, Stelluto, and solo appearances in New York at the

Metropolitan Museum of Art and at the Merkin Concert Hall at the Kaufman Music

Center, de Ascaniis performed in Taiwan at the Taipei Arena for an audience of

15,000 and played to great media acclaim in concert halls in Tokyo (Suntory Hall),

Rome (Auditorium Parco della Musica, Palazzo del Quirinale), Venice (Teatro La

Fenice), Milan (Teatro dal Verme), Tel Aviv (Museum Recanati Auditorium) and Los

Angeles (Disney Hall).

He also participated and performed in international music festivals including Orford in Canada, Keshet Eilon in Israel, Mozarteum in Salzburg, Bled in Slovenia, Nippon Foundation festival in Japan, iPalpiti Festival in California, Chelsea in New York, Trans-Siberian Art Festival in Siberia, Festival Dino Ciani and the Bologna Festival in Italy, to name a few.

Davide remains one of the very few violinists in the world who performs the entire set of the 24 Paganini Caprices in a single recital.

Born in Italy in 1991 to a family of pianists, Davide's first professional engagement

was in 2000 in France, performing Bruch Violin Concerto with orchestra. After

earning a Master's Degree cum laude from the Conservatorio in Vicenza at the age of 16, he was awarded a Diploma at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome, and continued his studies in New York with the eminent virtuoso violinist/composer Albert Markov.

Recent headlining concerts were the SOLD-OUT Carnegie Hall Zankel recital debut

in New York City, a tour in Venezuela performing Paganini Concerto with Dudamel’s Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra, the sensational Italian premiere of Markov’s “Six Rhapsodies” for violin and orchestra, “Two Suites” for violin and piano, and “Solo Violin Sonata n.3 which was dedicated to Davide. In February 2022 Davide was appointed violin professor at the Music Conservatory “da Palestrina” in Cagliari (Sardinia).

He continues an intense concert activity as violin soloist beside his mission to attract a younger audience with his shows “from Baroque to Rock” in which he presents original arrangements and compositions of different genres featuring two unique instruments: a carbon fiber violin and an electric violin built exclusively for him.

Upcoming engagements are scheduled in USA, Japan and South America.
