His latest work is a composition for quintet dedicated to the famous madrigal composer Carlo Gesualdo da Venosa on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the death.
The music of D'Errico has its roots in modern jazz, european music, and contemporary improvisation. The musical research of D'Errico focuses on the border between emotion and linguistic rigour. With this goal in mind D'Errico has explored many different forms of music and musical ensembles performing his music in piano solo or ensembles of different sizes.
