- Andreas Vollenweider (født 4. oktober 1953 i Zürich) er en sveitsisk musiker. Hans hovedinstrument er egendesignet elektro-akustisk harpe, men han spiller også flere andre instrumenter, blant annet gitarer og keyboards. Vollenweiders far Hans var en av Europas ledende organister. Andreas Vollenweider vokste opp i kunstnerisk mangfoldige omgivelser, og han ble en selvlært multiinstrumentalist. 22 år gammel begynte han å spille harpe, og han utviklet en egen spilleteknikk. Han utviklet instrumentet etter egne behov, og slik oppsto den elektro-akustiske harpen. Deretter komponerte Vollenweider musikk for film-, teater- og fjernsynsproduksjoner. I 1970-årene spilte han sammen med René Bardet i ensemblet Poesie und Musik. De satte musikk til dikt av Heinrich Heine og François Villon. Hans første soloalbum, "Eine Art Suite in XIII Teilen", ble utgitt i Sveits i 1979. Det regnes som "Vollenweider-soundens vugge". I 1984 hadde hans album "White Winds" suksess på de amerikanske hitlistene i kategoriene pop, klassisk og jazz. I 1987 ble Andreas Vollenweider den første sveitser som vant den amerikanske Grammy-prisen, for albumet "Down to the Moon". Solomusikken til Andreas Vollenweider ligger i spenningsfeltet mellom jazz og såkalt new age, men har også elementer av pop og klassisk. Musikken hans er for det meste instrumental, men han har også samarbeidet med flere kjente vokalister, blant annet Bobby McFerrin, Carly Simon, Luciano Pavarotti og Ladysmith Black Mambazo. (no)
