Trained as an organist, Francesco Filidei studied composition at the Florence and Paris Conservatories and at IRCAM. He has been invited to the world's foremost contemporary music festivals and has performed with the most prestigious orchestras and specialized ensembles in concert halls as both an organist and composer.

His works are part of the long tradition of Italian music - namely that of vocal writing - and he is particularly passionate about all the issues of memory (historical, musicological, immediate...) at work both in the compositional process and in the listening process.
