As Composer I studied in Rome (S. Cecilia Conservatory) with Teresa Procaccini and Massimo Gianfreda. Then I had several masterclasses with Gyorgy Ligeti, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Ivan Fedele and Steven Schott Smalley. In 2009 I was finalist at the S. Cecilia Academy International Competition and in 2010 was awarded by Ennio Morricone at the Petrassi International Composition Competition. I love write music for the media also and have a good experience in finding the best musical solution for every situation. I wrote original music for exibitions (Mysteria, Warner Village, 2001), short movie (The Son, L'angelo Zingaro, Il Cuore nel cassetto, La lupa e l'agnello) and long movie (De Serpentis Munere).
CONDUCTOR
As Conductor I'm known for My WHITE GLOVES and for the ability to relate with people (Choirs, Ensembles & Orchestras) in order to catch the right musical taste and atmosfphere. From Palestrina to Copland, from Genesis to Pink Floyd I'm able to find the best gesture and interpratation. I conducted Mozart Requiem, Mozart 25th Symphony in Japan, Orff Carmina Burana (Cavea Parco della Musica and Ostia Antica) as well as poliphnic and lyric choir repertoire.
GUITARIST
I studied with Giuliano Balestra approaching the Emilio Pujol sound quality and musical taste. With My Wife Francesca Romana Iorio I formed the Orpheus Duo to play original music for singing and guitar. Since I was young loved Prog Rock, Psichedelik Rock and Jazz music too. So since 2017 as soloist or in collaboration with my wife and the trumpetter Gino Fedeli I performed rock and jazz music.
