Biography

Italian, born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Claudio Di Veroli received his training from a distinguished group of European musicians: Ernst Epstein (piano and interpretation), Erwin Leuchter (harmony) and Ljerko Spiller (chamber music). Living in Europe in the early 70's he was strongly influenced by his teachers
Colin Tilney in London and Hubert Bédard in Paris. He was granted access and
practised extensively on the antique keyboards in the Fenton House (London)
and the Paris Conservatoire Musée Instrumental (now Musée de la Musique).

With a PhD in Statistics from Imperial College London he went back to Buenos Aires, where he was founder member of the Telemann Chamber Group and pioneered the performance of Baroque music based on ancient practices. He has carried out extensive research in French Baroque interpretation, ancient keyboard fingerings and unequal temperaments, often applying advanced scientific and computer tools. His writings have been endorsed by leading musicians such as Gustav Leonhardt, Igor Kipnis and John Barnes. They include three books—two on tuning and temperament and one on baroque keyboard technique—and 41 papers, many of them published, most recently in Harpsichord & fortepiano of Lincoln (UK). He is now working on a new book on baroque keyboard performance and interpretation, to be published in 2010.

Considered a leading harpsichordist and specialist in Baroque interpretation in South America, he has been Professor of Harpsichord and examiner of the Organ course at the Conservatorio Nacional in Buenos Aires. Recent teaching practices include short courses and masterclasses in Montevideo, Buenos Aires
and the Conservatorio Statale in Turin, Italy.

As a soloist - mostly on the harpsichord but also on the organ - he has performed extensively in venues ranging from small to very large: concert halls, churches, radio and TV, both solo and with ensembles, with very favourable reviews in leading newspapers. His last public performance before living Argentina was the closing recital of the 2000 season at the Baroque Organ in Buenos Aires Cathedral. Now living in Bray, just south of Dublin, Ireland, he mostly plays on his French double-keyboard Hubbard harpsichord based on Taskin, and the neo-Baroque tracker organ built by K. Jones in 1984 in the Holy Redeemer Church.
He is at present director of
Bray Baroque, a new musical centre.
