Bio
Marco Sinopoli is a composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist whose work emerges from the dialogue between composition and improvisation, combining the freedom of jazz language with the depth of contemporary musical research.
In recent years, his artistic path has expanded to embrace minimalism and electronic soundscapes, integrating these elements into a personal aesthetic guided by timbral exploration and a strong narrative and visual sensitivity.
He has received commissions from institutions such as Nuova Consonanza, Accademia Filarmonica Romana, Roma Sinfonietta, Macerata Opera Festival, and Seminario de Cultura Mexicana, and has collaborated with major cultural organizations including MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Arts and the Venice Biennale, where his works have been presented in concert.
His music has been performed in Italy, Germany, Austria, Ireland, and Mexico, including at theater festivals such as the Fringe Festival.
His collaborations include classical and contemporary musicians such as Sentieri Selvaggi, the Wind Quintet of Mexico City, Mitja Quartet, Imago Sonora, Alessandro Carbonare Trio, and Michele Marco Rossi, as well as prominent Jazz artists, including Fabrizio Bosso, Roberto Gatto, Nicola Stilo, Ramberto Ciammarughi, Alessandro Gwis, Lino Patruno, Peppino Gagliardi, Sergio Cammariere, Francesco Di Giacomo, Simone Alessandrini, Federica Michisanti, and Jonathan Kreisberg.
In 2018 he founded the ensemble Marco Sinopoli Extradiction, which brings together musicians from both the jazz and contemporary classical worlds.
With this group he released Chromatic Landscape (Parco della Musica Records, 2021), winner of the Global Music Award in 2022, and is currently working on the new album Extradiction Plays Ravel (to be released in 2026), a jazz-progressive reinterpretation of Maurice Ravel’s music.
In parallel, Sinopoli is active in theater, advertising, and audiovisual media, composing music for short films and documentaries and collaborating with international brands such as Bulgari, Chanel, and L’Oréal.
Since 2023, he has served as Advisor for Composition at the American Academy in Rome.
