He has held the chair of recorder at the Conservatorio G.B. Martini in Bologna (Italy) from 1977 to 2006, when he retired and moved to Ubatuba (Brazil). Pacchioni is a musicologist specializing in the revival of Baroque composition in the modern era, and has gained a following over the Internet for his Neo-Baroque compositions and fugues.
Giorgio Pacchioni is a champion of the music of Francesco Antonio Vallotti, both as a performer and composer.
He actively collaborated with the musical association “Antiqua” to the transcription of Girolamo Dalla Casa's Secondo libro de Madrigali a cinque voci con i passaggi (Venice 1590): in fact, he recomposed the whole Tenore partbook, which is missing from the only extant copy of the original print. The CD based on this opus, performed by "Il terzo suono" conducted by G.P.Fagotto, has won the “Speciale raccomandazione della giuria del premio discografico internazionale A.Vivaldi”.
Pacchioni is also a well known ocarina maker.
