Throughout his career, Nuccio D'Angelo participated in numerous Italian festivals and performed both solo and with various chamber ensembles in Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Portugal, Switzerland, and the United States. Nuccio often interprets his compositions and rewrites old pieces in different genres (pop, jazz), sometimes alternating them with Spanish and South American elements during a concert.
