Produced by Mechanics Hall and the Worcester Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. 

Both an organist and organ builder, Salvatore Pronestì is known for his elegant playing from the organ repertory as well as convincing orchestral transcriptions and imaginative improvisations. 

He studied organ with Luigi Celeghin and attended the Institute of Paleography and Musical Philology at the University of Pavia, Cremona.  

He is titolare at Bottega Organaria de Salvatore Pronesti and is regularly invited to several prestigious conferences as an expert speaker in Organology and construction methods of the Italian Organ building tradition.  

He concertizes extensively in Europe and the Americas and, among other prestigious posts is Artistic Director of the International Organ Festival at the Pantheon, Rome, Italy.
