{"value"=>"<p>Amedeo De Filippi (1900-1990) was an American composer and arranger. Born in Italy, he arrived in the United States with his family at age five. At nine, he was playing piano with bands in Atlantic City and New York. He later studied violin and composition, and was awarded a four-year fellowship in piano and composition at the Juilliard Graduate School of Music in 1926. There, he studied with Rubin Goldmark.</p> <p>De Filippi created orchestral, choral, and chamber music for ballet, radio, television, film, and orchestras. His Concerto for Orchestra won the Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York American Composers Award of 1936, but the award was withdrawn because he was not born in the United States. In 1936, his Sonata for Violin and Piano was performed at the Festival of Contemporary American Music. He also orchestrated ballets for the Ballet Russe and Ballet Theatre. As a composer, arranger, and orchestrator, De Filippi was on the staff of the Columbia Broadcasting System, and he also worked for Pathé Films, the Judson Radio Program Company, Victor Phonograph Company, and several theaters and publishers. He was inducted into the International Institute of Arts and Letters in 1962.</p> <p>Amedeo De Filippi died in 1990 of complications from a stroke.</p>"}
