Italian composer and pianist Alfredo De Vecchis (b. 1989) has established a distinctive voice in contemporary music through works that explore the intersections between acoustic perception, technological interference, and the poetic ambiguity of time. His output spans solo instruments, chamber ensembles, orchestra, and mixed media.

De Vecchis studied piano at the Conservatorio A. Casella in L'Aquila under Claudio Gialdino Curti, and composition at the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome with Massimo Gianfreda and Rosario Mirigliano. He continued his studies at the Hochschule für Musik in Mannheim with Sidney Corbett, Philipp Ludwig Stangl, Márton Illés, and Helmut Zapf. His artistic development was further shaped by masterclasses with leading figures in European contemporary music including Helmut Lachenmann, Stefano Gervasoni, Mauro Lanza, Alessio Elia, Hanspeter Kyburz, Daniele Ghisi, Fabien Lévy, and Giorgio Netti - encounters that informed his compositional aesthetic, which draws from Ligeti's piano writing, Conlon Nancarrow's mechanistic approach, and elements of techno and concrete dance music.

Recognition and Awards

His work The Waters of Monkey Island for quintet has earned first prizes at the Andrea Ceraso International Composition Competition (She Lives, Rome), the Egidio Carella International Competition (Fondazione Val Tidone Musica), the Achrome Ensemble International Call for Scores (Milan, 2022), second prize at the Matan Givol competition, and won the Platinum Prize and Special Award for Creative Innovation at the Saint-Saëns competition.

Performances and Collaborations

De Vecchis's music has been performed at venues including Osnabrück Theater, Magdeburg Theater, LAC Lugano, Budapest Music Center, Vienna Concert Hall, and the Heidelberger Frühling Festival, where his work was featured in the 2017 "Lied.Lab" project Gesänge des Daseins. His works have been performed by ensembles and soloists including Divertimento Ensemble, Ensemble Impronta, pianist Maria Grazia Bellocchio, and violinist Marco Rizzi.

Compositional Output

His catalogue includes instrumental concert works such as Concertino for Cello and Orchestra (2017), A Deepness in the Sky (2018), and Lo-Tek Héroïque (2020); chamber works like The Waters of Monkey Island (2021) and De ira (2015); and mixed media pieces including Solar Flare (2021, VR installation) and The Equal Duality of Sins (2023, sound installation). His Prelude, Aria and Kanon for Disklavier has been described as representing "a new avant-garde direction for mechanical music."

Current Activities

In 2020, De Vecchis served as Composer in Residence for the Landesjugendensemble Baden-Württemberg. He has been featured in publications such as Percorsi Musicali, which highlighted him among the new generation of Italian composers. Currently based between Berlin and Turin, he continues his work as a composer and pianist while maintaining professional activities in the IT sector.
