Eddy Serafini holds diplomas in Composition, Classical Guitar, Choral Music, and Choral Conducting. His output, regularly featured in festivals and concert seasons in Italy and abroad, has consistently received wide acclaim from both audiences and critics.
Among the many commissioning institutions are the Accademia Filarmonica Romana, the Teatro Donizetti in Bergamo, the Philharmonic Society and the Sacred Music Festival of Trento and Bolzano, the European Capital of Culture, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Turin.
His compositions have been performed by internationally renowned ensembles and orchestras, including the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, the Batavia Madrigal Singers, the Orchestra of the “A. Toscanini” Foundation in Parma, the Kanagawa Philharmonic Orchestra, the Orchestra della Magna Grecia, the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto, the JFutura Orchestra, the Arriaga Quartet, the Ars Trio of Rome, as well as artists such as Giovanni Sollima. Some works have also been broadcast by national radio and television networks such as RAI, RAI International, and RAI 5.
Awarded in several national and international competitions — including two consecutive editions of the “2 Agosto” Competition, the Diploma of Honour at the Tournoi International de Musique in Paris, and the “Demattè Prize” for cultural and career achievement — he has published with publishing houses such as Universal, PH Publisher, Sinfonica, Sonitus, SconfinArte, and Berben.
His discography includes various CDs and DVDs; the most recent, released in 2023, features orchestral works in the project Premiér: Counterpoints for a Journey.
Alongside his compositional activity, Serafini has long been engaged in teaching and research through publications, lectures, and seminars dedicated to historical and analytical musicological topics. Among his most recent editions is the collection 18 Laude from the Second Book by O. Petrucci (1508), the result of careful transcription, revision, and reconstruction work, published by Bluebelldisc Press.
A constantly evolving artistic personality, oriented toward expanding his expressive language through the observation and study of both contemporary and past music, he has also turned to early music, seeking — through a cultural perspective seemingly distant from his own — the authenticity needed to reinterpret his artistic vision of the present. He therefore began studying the lute with Pietro Prosser.
He is currently active as a concert performer with various ensembles in Italy and abroad, and also works as a continuo accompanist and collaborative pianist in masterclasses on Renaissance and Baroque vocal repertoire.
