An eclectic musician born in 1981, Aurélien Fillion studied the recorder (under Pascale Imbert and Dominique Vasseur), the organ (under Jean-Philippe Mesnier and Jean-Pierre Rolland), and chamber music and writing - harmony and counterpoint - (under André Delcambre) at the Conservatories of Douai and Lille). He was rewarded in each of these disciplines.
He then perfected himself over the course of one year at the CNSMD in Paris in classes covering writing (harmony) and Renaissance counterpoint, under Thierry Escaich and Olivier Trachier.
He also studied the organ and improvisation at the ‘Institut Supérieur de Musique et de Pédagogie’ (Superior Institute of Music and Pedagogy) of Namur in Belgium under Benoit Mernier and obtained a ‘master didactique avec grande distinction’ (Master’s in Education with high honours).

Aurélien Fillion has actively participated in several workshops and  master classes with musical personalities recognised in each of these specialties: Harald Vogel, Bernard Foccroulle, Jean Boyer, Lorenzo Ghielmi and Loïc Mallié for the organ, Sébastien Marcq and Pierre Hamon for the recorder, and Claude Ballif and Edith Lejet for writing or composition.

It was in 2000, upon contact with Guy Reibel and Frédéric Boulard, that he began a composition work thus giving birth to a repertoire of chamber music, solo music, or orchestral music. He was a prize winner at the Oloron Sainte-Marie  organ competition (2006) for his piece “Exploration granitique”, and at the Aristide Cavaillé-Coll (2011) organ competition for his piece “Zooms” (which was the subject of a publication in the review “La flûte harmonique”). He was also a finalist in the Boulogne-Billancourt (2012) pedagogic composition competition for his piece “Les horloges” (for string alto and baritone voice). He has been receiving feedback and guidance from Valéry Aubertin, Suzanne Giraud and Benoit Mernier concerning his various works.

Aurélien Fillion teaches in the North Region of France and is active as a soloist, with various ensembles or orchestras in France or abroad (Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Denmark, Iceland, Finland...). His musical repertoire extends from music from the Middle Ages to creative pieces. He collaborated with Mélanie Filipiak in the “Duo éolien” (transverse flute and organ) in an original repertoire and transcriptions that are highly appreciated by the public.
