Filippo Maria Bressan (born November 28, 1957 in Este ) is an Italian conductor and choir director.

He is one of the few conductors who are successful both as a leader of famous orchestras and as a choir director.

His most important teachers were the Viennese Karl Österreicher, with whom he studied conducting and orchestral conducting, and Jürgen Jürgens, with whom he studied choral conducting and became his assistant.

For almost twenty years he led the Athestis Chorus & Orchestra, which he founded, a professional choir and baroque orchestra that played on historical instruments.

International engagements led him mainly through Europe and South America. He worked with C. Abbado, L. Berio, F. Brüggen, MW Chung, CM Giulini, P. Maag, L. Maazel, M. Nyman, G. Prêtre, M. Rostropovich, G. Sinopoli, J. Tate, among others together. In 2000 he was appointed head of the Coro dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. In the more than 500-year history of the choir, he was the youngest conductor.

For several years, following his personal and artistic passions, he has concentrated his work on Italy. He works regularly with top Italian ensembles such as the orchestra and choir of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, the orchestra and choir of the Teatro La Fenice or the symphony orchestra of the RAI. Expert in historical performance practice, has a selected repertoire from early music to classical, romantic and contemporary music.
