Salvatore Di Vittorio

Salvatore Di Vittorio (born 22 October 1967 in Palermo, Italy) is an Italian composer and conductor. He is the music director and conductor of the Chamber Orchestra of New York.

Career His program music, focused on symphony, is mostly influenced by Hector Berlioz and Richard Strauss.

He has written works for various orchestras, such as Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana, Chamber Orchestra of New York, Teatro Massimo, San Diego Symphony, Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, and The Morgan Library & Museum. He has taught at Loyola School (New York City) and Adelphi University. This included the first Concerto per Violino (in La Maggiore), published by Edizioni Panastudio and Casa Ricordi in Italy. He premiered and recorded three of these editions, along with his own Overtura Respighiana and first two program symphonic poems with the Chamber Orchestra of New York for Naxos Records in 2010. Naxos Records released these first recordings in 2011.

Between the 2021/2022 and 2024/2025 seasons, Di Vittorio premiered his Viaggi di Enea (Voyages of Aeneas) as one of two commissions for the Teatro Massimo Opera Orchestra in Palermo—the second, his Metamorphosis Symphony at the opera house.
