Andrea Zamengo (*1996) is an Italian percussionist, performer and composer based in Bern, Switzerland.

He completed both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in classical percussion at the Conservatorio di Musica “C. Pollini” in Padua (Italy) under the guidance of M° Massimo Pastore. He later obtained a second Master’s degree in Composition / Creative Practice at the Hochschule der Künste Bern, studying with Simon Steen-Andersen. In September 2025, he will begin a Master’s in Music Pedagogy.

With a background in classical music, Andrea has gradually expanded his artistic practice across disciplines, blending music with theatre, performance art, film, and technology. His work challenges conventional genre boundaries and explores new forms of artistic expression.
