His work has brought classical tradition into dialogue with electronic experimentation through compositions for piano, orchestra, voice and music theatre. Melody, harmony and the exploration of sound itself lie at the heart of his work, reflecting a vision of listening as a transformative experience of emotion, presence and connection. He has performed at major international venues including Carnegie Hall in New York, Cadogan Hall in London, Teatro La Fenice in Venice, Teatro San Carlo in Naples, the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, Guangzhou Opera House and the National Art Center in Tokyo. He has collaborated with leading orchestras including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Moscow Imperial Orchestra, the UAE Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Teatro alla Scala. His music has played a central role in major international events, including Expo Milano 2015, for which he created the music for the Tree of Life, transforming historic monuments and urban spaces into immersive musical experiences. In February 2026, he composed the music for the Grand Finale of the Opening Ceremony of the Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games. The project took shape as OLYMPIA, recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. His latest AURAL Tour brought his music to major Italian theatres and concert halls, receiving widespread acclaim.
