In 2021 he was awarded by Teatro La Fenice the historical “Premio Una Vita nella Musica giovani” for his artistic achievements and in 2023 he won First Prize and Audience Prize at the Rio de Janeiro international piano competition.
Hailed as “a talent of extraordinary sensitivity and perfect technique” (Il Sole 24 Ore), Gabriele regularly steps on the world’s most renowned stages, including concerto appearances at the Berliner Philharmonie with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, in London’s Barbican Centre and Cadogan Hall, Teatro la Fenice in Venice with Orchestra Teatro la Fenice, in Cardiff’s St. David’s Hall with the Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra, and in Mumbai’s National Centre for Performing Arts with Chamber Orchestra of India, working with conductors such as Umberto Benedetti Michelangeli, Roberto Tibiriçá, Baldur Brönnimann, Andreas Wittmann, Michael Bell, Hans Richter.
Regularly performing a wide-ranging repertoire from baroque to contemporary, Gabriele recently gave his debut at Wigmore Hall, acclaimed as “a recital of perfected creativity, pinning his name onto posterity” (Crepuscular Musings). Other praised recitals include the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Sala Puccini in Milan, Sala Cecilia Meireles in Rio de Janeiro, Laeiszhalle in Hamburg for the Steinway International Piano Festival, Philharmonic Hall in Bratislava, among others. His performances are regularly broadcast on Italian national Radio (Rai 3) and on television (Sky Classical).
An avid chamber musician, he has played at Wigmore Hall and Milton Court Concert Hall in London, Lincoln Center in New York, and has premiered chamber music works by Academy Award nominee Thomas Newman and Pulitzer Prize finalist Kate Soper.
Gabriele received his Master of Music degree from Yale University aged 19, as well as a Master of Musical Arts degree under the guidance of Professor Boris Berman.
