: BIOGRAPHY
David Ianni is a critically acclaimed classical pianist and a composer of more than 120 works, including compositions for the piano and sacred choral music. His music has been performed throughout Europe, India and Japan.
David has become well-known for his project My Urban Piano for which a series of nine music videos was produced in different European Capitals of Culture. He dedicated an original composition to each city and performed it on artistically designed pianos. Most of the pianos were donated to institutions of the visited cities. Not only is David a musical ambassador for his home country, but also for the European Idea.
In 2019, David Ianni composed the title song “There For You/Fir Dech Do” for RTL Télé Luxembourg’s charity show “Télévie” and the highly successful musical homage to Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg “Adieu”.
David’s music is highly sophisticated and rooted in the tradition of classical music, yet easily accessible for everyone. Each of his compositions is unique and touching, celebrating the gift of life, the treasure of peace and the blessing of forgiveness. Being a genuine communicator both onstage and in life, David loves to work with people and is capable of inspiring others with his enthusiasm and love for life. Among others, David has worked with children, cancer patients, refugees and disabled people. The powerful beauty of his music unites people regardless of their ethnic origin, religion, social status or age. With his musical projects David wants to leave a positive mark on everyone involved.
David’s passion for music started early in his childhood. At the age of sixteen he gave his first international concert performing Franz Liszt’s Second Piano Concerto. In the late nineties, David withdrew from the public in order to find his spiritual and musical identity. He increasingly dedicated himself to composing his own music. In the following fruitful years, David developed his unique and personal style which reflects his pursuit of truth, beauty and silence in music. While deeply rooted in the tradition of classical music, David’s harmonically and contrapuntally diverse compositions have found their way into the hearts of classical music lovers and mainstream listeners alike.
He released several albums with his piano music as well as two albums with the Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz which were awarded platinum status in Austria. David is an official Steinway artist and his music is published by Universal Edition.
