Flavio Emilio Scogna (born 16 August 1956 in Savona, Liguria) is an Italian composer and conductor.
After studying at the Conservatory of Genoa, Scogna subsequently went on to further his studies in composition and conducting, amongst others, with Franco Ferrara in Rome (1982/1983), with Franco Donatoni and Aldo Clementi at the University of Bologna. In 1984 he went on to specialize with Luciano Berio with whom he was to strike up a strong relationship based on friendship and professional respect. This was to have a decisive effect on his development as a conductor. In 1988, along with Berio, he carried out the transcription and elaboration of Wir bauen eine Stadt by Paul Hindemith, which was performed in the same year in the Konzerthaus in Wien. Scogna's works are performed in the most prestigious places (Accademia Nazionale di S.Cecilia, Teatro Comunale di Firenze, Centre Pompidou in Paris, Konzerthaus in Vienna, Auditorium Nacional in Madrid, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma) and they are recorded on RCA, BMG Ariola as well as broadcast by the major European radios and televisions (RAI, BBC, RNE, BRT, Radio France amongst others).
In 1998 he represented the RAI television network at the Prix Italia, with the radio work "L’Arpa Magica" based on a text by Edoardo Sanguineti. He has given lectures and seminars regarding his own compositions, in Europe and at several colleges in the United States. In October 2002 Flavio Emilio Scogna successfully conducted "La memoria perduta" (directed by Pier-Alli), a work commissioned by the Rome Opera House. Besides being a composer, since 1990 he has been an international acclaimed Orchestra Conductor both in the classical and operatic repertoire (he has revalued important classics and has often edited them personally, such as Pergolesi, Boccherini and Rossini), in the twentieth century and contemporary repertoire with a very large number of premieres (he is now considered one of the most popular conductors among the major living composers), such as Aldo Clementi, Sylvano Bussotti, Luis de Pablo, Ennio Morricone, Giacomo Manzoni, Adriano Guarnieri and in the historic twentieth century (Erik Satie and Nino Rota, for whom he pressed the first global record of the work "I due timidi"). He directed some of the most important international symphonic orchestras such as the Kiev Philharmonic Orchestra, the Rai Symphonic Orchestra, the RTVE Symphony Orchestra, the Rome Opera House Orchestra, the Hungarian State Symphonic Orchestra, the Raanana Sinfonietta of Israel, the Icelandic Symphonic Orchestra, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Nice, the Orchestre Symphonique et Lyrique de Nancy, the Pomeriggi Musicali di Milano Orchestra, the Sicilian Symphonic Orchestra, the Filarmonica Toscanini Orchestra and the National Academy Orchestra of Santa Cecilia, as well as internationally acclaimed ensembles such as Alternance in Paris, The Accademia Bizantina, Circulo in Madrid and the Ensemble Strumentale Scaligero.
In 1995 he directed the opening concert for the celebration of the centenary of the International Music Festival of the Biennale di Venezia with "Quare Tristis" of Adriano Guarnieri. From 1999 he conducts the Cantelli Orchestra and the Symphonic Orchestra of Italy in Milan for the concerts of the music "NovecentoMusica" Festival with Luigi Pestalozza as artistic director. Flavio Emilio Scogna's discography is very rich and comprises recordings for RCABMG (RCA Red Seal), Brilliant Classic, Curci, RicordiMediastore, FonitCetra, Dynamic, Tactus and Bongiovanni. His CD recording of Schnittke's works (Dynamic S 2030) gained the highest rating (10) given by the magazine Répertoire in the year 2000. From 2006 to 2009 he was the conductor of the Ensemble Contemporaneo of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia and in 2009 he became Principal Conductor of the Bari Symphony Orchestra.
