Andrea Mazzariello (b. 1978) is a composer, performer, writer, and teacher. His work thinks through the possibilities and proclivities of the performing body, as mediated through both instrumental technique and through technologically augmenting that technique, and pays special attention to the treatment and setting of his own text, spoken and sung.
He’s active as a solo performer of his own work for a novel and evolving instrumental setup, and has presented in such diverse venues as The Knitting Factory, Cakeshop, the Queens New Music Festival, and the Wassaic Festival. His concert music has been performed or read by the New Jersey Symphony, The Berkshire Symphony, So Percussion, NOW Ensemble, and Newspeak, among many others.
In 2011, he completed his Ph.D. in Music Composition at Princeton University, writing on the vinyl resurgence and its connection to our ideas of physicality and abstraction in music analysis. He holds an M.M. from the University of Michigan and graduated magna cum laude from Williams College, where he won a Hubbard Hutchinson Memorial Fellowship for Excellence in Music and was named to Phi Beta Kappa.
Andrea joined the faculty of the Princeton Writing Program in 2010, and currently teaches a seminar called "Music and Power." He’s also working on solo pieces for pianist Kate Campbell and percussionist Ben Reimer.
