Tommaso Maria Mazzoletti was born in Novara in 1991 and initially studied the piano before discovering his true vocation for the organ at the age of 12. He studied in his hometown and then at the Ghedini Conservatoire in Cuneo, where he specialized in organ and organ composition under Massimo Nosetti, obtaining a first prize. He did further studies with Emanuele Vianelli and Fausto Caporali, and then moved to France to study under Pierre Meà. In 2016 he obtained his “Master en interprétation musicale – Concert” at the Haute Ecole de Musique in Geneva, under the guidance of Alessio Corti, thereafter moving on to the Haute Ecole de Musique in Lausanne, where he studied with Jean-Christophe Geiser in the course devoted to “Master en interprétation musicale spécialisée – Soliste”.

Following a decade as organist at the San Nazzaro Abbey in Sesia and at the cathedral in Vercelli, in 2016 Tommaso won the post of titular organist at the protestant churches of Gland and Vich in the Vaud Canton. At the Church of St. Paul in Gland, he oversaw the construction of a new Brondino-Vegezzi-Bossi organ on his designs. In 2017, he founded the organization Orgue en Jeux, of which he is president and artistic director.

Tommaso’s concert schedule includes appearances at important international festivals and in prominent cities throughout Europe and the United States. The many competitions and contests he has won include the Premio Nazionale delle Arti in Rome, under the auspices of the Ministry of Education, and the Prix d’Orgue Pierre Segonde, awarded by the city of Geneva.
