Viderø was born in Fuglebjerg, Næstved. He was the organist at the Reformed Church in Copenhagen from 1928 to 1941, the Jægersborg Church from 1942 to 1947, the Trinitatis Church in Copenhagen from 1947 to 1971 and St. Andreas Church in Copenhagen from 1971 to 1977. He was guest lecturer at Yale University and held an honorary doctorate from the Åbo Akademi University in Finland. In 1933, he co-published with Oluf Ring a widely used organ primer.{{cite web|title=Finn Viderø|url=http://www.denstoredanske.dk/Dansk_Biografisk_Leksikon/Kunst_og_kultur/Musik/Organist/Finn_Vider%C3%B8|website=Dansk biografisk Lexikon|accessdate=19 May 2015|language=Danish}} His organ playing was uncompromising and many believed that Viderø's musical interpretations were as close to the authentic, artistic and historical representation intended by the composer as one could get.{{cite web|last1=Bøggild|first1=Kai Ole|title=Finn Viderø og Compenius-orglet|url=http://www.doks.dk/organistbladet/46-2010/september/645--finn-videro-og-compenius-orglet?highlight=WyJmaW5uIiwidmlkZXJcdTAwZjgiLCJ2aWRlclx1MDBmOCdzayIsImZpbm4gdmlkZXJcdTAwZjgiXQ==|website=Dansk Organist og Kantor Samfund|accessdate=19 May 2015}} He died in Copenhagen.{{Citation needed|date=April 2021}}
