Internationally renowned organist and harpsichordist Edoardo Bellotti is considered a leading expert of Renaissance and Baroque keyboard repertory and improvisation.  In addition to his musical studies (Piano, Organ, Harpsichord) he studied humanities at the University of Pavia, his Italian native town, completing degrees in philosophy and theology.

Alongside teaching and performing, he has devoted himself to musicological research, publishing articles, essays and critical editions of organ music and presenting his work in international conferences. He has edited the first modern edition of two of the most important Baroque treatises on organ playing: Adriano Banchieri L’ Organo suonarino (Venice 1605), and Spiridion a Monte Carmelo Nova Instructio pro pulsandis organis (Bamberg 1670).  Bellotti has published over 30 CDs, both as a soloist and in collaboration with vocal and instrumental ensembles, with the mission to document and make known historical instruments and their repertoire.

From 2013 to 2018, he served as an Associate Professor of Organ at the Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester.
