Jacopo Baboni Schilingi

Jacopo Baboni Schilingi was born in Milan on April 4, 1971. He has been French naturalized in 2013. Jacopo Baboni Schilingi comes from an « art music » background in which writing and interactivity are paramount. He is one of the most representative composers of his generation, and recognized as such in conservatories and classical concert halls. In 2018 he was residence artist for the Grand Palais exhibition Artists & Robots (Paris from April 5th to July 9th 2018). He is working with Chanel for a monographic concert and new photo exhibition (Tokyo – 2018, 2019, 2020) and for a series of concerts in France, Italy, Japan, USA and China. Jacopo Baboni Schilingi is equally at home in interdisciplinary modes of artistic expression which combine visuals, architecture and interactions with the public in new contexts. His work with French-born American visual artist Arman in the 2000s initiated a series of creative collaborations with Miguel Chevalier, Jean-Pierre Balpe, Alain Fleischer, Elias Crespin, Sarkis, and others. Jacopo Baboni Schilingi is artistic director of the Interactive Music Ensemble, which he founded in 2001. He lives in Paris where he composes music for soloists, ensembles, orchestras, for installations and movies, taking part in the most important international festivals. Today his music is regularly performed all over the world.
