Gabriel Smallwood
American harpsichordist Gabriel Smallwood is rapidly emerging as one of the most
promising young musicians in the early music scene. A prizewinner at several prestigious
international harpsichord competitions—including the Musica Antiqua Competition in
Bruges, Belgium, the “Wanda Landowska in Memoriam” International Harpsichord
Competition in Poznań, Poland, and the International Harpsichord Competition in
Milan, Italy—he has captivated listeners with his impressive technical facility and his
deeply nuanced and inspired playing.
Originally from South Carolina, Gabriel began his musical journey on the piano at
age three. His passion for historical keyboard instruments was ignited at twelve when he
first encountered the harpsichord. This fascination led to numerous research projects and
performances during his teenage years, including solo and continuo roles with the South
Carolina Bach Society. Gabriel commenced formal harpsichord training in 2019, towards
the end of his Bachelor’s studies in Leipzig, and has since devoted himself entirely to early
music and keyboard instruments.
As a soloist and continuo player, Gabriel is in high demand, regularly performing
with esteemed early music ensembles across Europe and in the United States. His deep
affinity for historical keyboards has brought him to notable collections in Greenville (SC),
Hamburg (DE), and Bologna (IT). Recording collaborations include work with the NDR
Philharmonie and Diana Damrau for Warner Classics. In 2026, Gabriel will release his
debut solo album with Ramée, a prestigious label under Outhere Music, featuring the
early works of Johann Sebastian Bach.
In addition to his performing career, Gabriel is an accomplished composer who
has won multiple national competitions in the United States. His compositions have been
performed by leading orchestras, including a notable performance by the Orchestra of St.
Luke’s at Carnegie Hall in 2012 as part of the Carmina Burana Choral Project.
Gabriel’s extensive training includes harpsichord studies with Tobias Schade, Mitzi
Meyerson, and Menno van Delft; organ with Wolfgang Zerer; and piano with Alexander
Meinel. He has participated in masterclasses with renowned musicians such as Christophe
Rousset, Pierre Hantaï, Frédérick Haas, Skip Sempe, Carole Cerasi, Ketil Haugsand, and
Catalina Vicens. He currently studies harpsichord with Francesco Corti and basso
continuo with Jörg Andreas Bötticher at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel,
Switzerland, the world’s leading institution for early music. Additionally, he studies
medieval and Renaissance keyboard music under the tutelage of Corina Marti.
