My name is Sara Zamboni (1990), and I am an Italian composer, pianist, and creative coach based in the Netherlands. 

With a solid academic background and an ever-curious spirit, my musical journey is dynamic, playful, and always open to new discoveries.

I create Contemporary music across a wide range of genres, from instrumental compositions to electronic soundscapes, often merging diverse styles to suit different artistic contexts. My passion lies in composing for live performances where the magic of live interaction brings the music to life. 

Collaborative projects are a core part of my creative process, and I particularly enjoy working on chamber music, contemporary music theater, and compositions for dance and movement research.

At the heart of my work is a deep belief in the connection between mind, body and artistry: this vision guides both my creative practice and my daily life. Movement and expression are constant sources of inspiration, whether I’m immersed in a dance class, practicing Pilates, or exploring contemporary skating gliding across the ice. These physical experiences enrich my musical compositions, fueling a unique blend of creativity that is deeply rooted in both movement and sound.

I invite you to join me in exploring the endless possibilities where sound, movement, and imagination come together!

My academic studies include a Master’s degree in Classical Piano from the Conservatorio "L. Marenzio" in Brescia (Italy) and a Master’s degree in Composition from the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague (The Netherlands) and several other professional certifications. These formal studies laid a solid foundation, but for me, education is a lifelong process and constantly evolves with new goals, new challenges, and new creative territories to explore.

Over the years, my portfolio has grown to include a diverse range of international collaborations with prestigious institutions such as Codarts Rotterdam, Lycée Français Vincent van Gogh in The Hague, the Zhejiang Conservatory of Music in Hangzhou, the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Brno, HfMT in Köln, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Studio Hrdinu in Prague, and festivals including the Gaudeamus Festival in Utrecht, Skopje Dance Fest, and Festival de Royaumont, among others.

Most of my academic occupation is currently based at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, where I work in the departments of 'Dance' and 'Art of Sound'.
