Alessandro Ambrosi (Pordenone, 1992) is an accordionist, composer, and sound designer. He began studying the accordion at the age of seven, and went on to train with Fabio Rossato at the Conservatory of Trento and with Geir Draugsvoll at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen — a formation that gave him a deep grounding in the classical and contemporary repertoire, while leaving room for everything that would follow.
Over the years his practice has moved well beyond those boundaries, expanding into composition, electronic music, field recording, and theatre. As a performer he has appeared across Europe, Japan, and the USA, collaborating with orchestras including the Orchestra of Teatro La Fenice and the Orchestra of Teatro Carlo Felice, and working with theatre institutions such as the Teatro Goldoni in Venice and the Centro Studi Pier Paolo Pasolini. He has also been an active commissioner and first performer of new works, premiering pieces by composers including Benjamin de Murashkin, Mario Pagotto, James Black, and Juan David Zuleta.
A parallel compositional thread runs through his work: Eco (2024), for accordion and string orchestra, premiered in Florence; new arrangements of Vivaldi and Piazzolla for Seasons (2024, Trio Aurae), recorded in Copenhagen; and Sogni (2025), his first solo album, weaving accordion with self-composed soundscapes and acoustic and digital instruments, which received significant critical attention and was aired on Rai Radio 3 (Battiti) and Audio Interface (Forgotten Futures).
In 2025 he took part in an artistic residency in Japan, collaborating with Ayako Kanisasare (shō), Kenji Azuma (field recorder), Takahiro Kido (composer), Yuki Murata (piano), and others, before joining the Tokyo Ambient Collective, with whom he recorded Winter Ambience (Ricco Label Japan). The River in the Sky, his forthcoming album on Ricco Label, continues this trajectory into environmental and ambient sound.
