Fabio Fresi is a music composer. He studied musical composition because of his passion for singing, and he taught himself harmony and counterpoint, with emphasis on choral music a cappella.
Born in 1979 in northwest Sardinia, a beautiful island in
the middle
of the Mediterranean Sea, Fabio Fresi is an Italian composer currently
living in the ancient Roman city of Porto Torres.


In 1997, Fresi joined the ''Cantori della Resurrezione'' choir (Porto Torres) conducted by Antonio Sanna, with them has performed several concerts in Italy and abroad. He has taken part in important festivals and shows such as the International Festival of Sacred Music in Loreto, the Festival of Ancient Music in Palestrina, the Spoleto Music Festival, the International Festival "Miskolc Kamarakorus" (Hungary), the International Festival of Sacred Music in Koper (Slovenia) etc.
As in the best early music tradition, it was his passion for singing
that prompted him to first approach the art of composing, particularly
the combination of different voices that he describes as the “most
eclectic instruments of all”.


He has also performed as a soloist in Renaissance and Baroque works, such as ''Rappresentazione di Anima et di Corpo'' by Emilio de Cavalieri, and ''Il festino nella sera di giovedì grasso avanti cena'' by A. Banchieri and in sacred works such as ''Missa brevis KV 49'' and ''KV 220'' by W.A. Mozart, ''Messa in La maggiore'' and ''Fa maggiore'' by G. Platti, ''Messa Oettingana'' by G. Bernabei, ''Christmas Oratorio'' by J.S. Bach, etc.
The degree in languages and foreign literatures (he studied Spanish,
Catalan and English) has proved to be pivotal when choosing the lyrics
to accompany his music.

themes, are regularly performed in more than 30 countries across
