His teachers include his father, Pablo Iturrioz, Francisco de Hoyos (a pupil of Gyorgi Sandor), Bernardo Segall who studied with Alexander Siloti, who was a pupil of Liszt, Aube Tzerko and Julian White. He is the recipient of the Los Angeles Young Musicians Foundation Tushinsky Memorial Scholarship Award and the Dewars Young Artists Award., and has taken master classes with Byron Janis and Andre Watts. An injury to his right hand interrupted his career for several years, during which time he developed a formidable repertoire of left hand piano music, including the complete Chopin-Godowsky transcriptions.

Mr. Iturrioz has an extensive repertoire that ranges from Scarlatti to present day composers, and plays the complete piano works of Robert Schumann. He continues to perform in the United States and Europe, and has three CD's available at www.artists.com: A Waterfall of Romance, featuring Bellini's "Norma" arranged by Franz Liszt; The Art of the Left Hand (cd audio); and Davidsbundler, Op.6 by Schumann, with the Liszt "Benediction de Dieu dans la solitude".
