Andrew’s 2022 – 2023 season is that of collaboration: duo recitals with violinist Diego Tosi as Violon(cell)issimo; recitals of Bach and chamber music in Paris; interventions for the médiathèques of Parisian hospitals, and both orchestral and chamber performances with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the Orchestre Nationale d’Île de France.

Currently Andrew resides in Paris, France where he is in demand as a solo and collaborative cellist. Initially he moved to Paris as a recipient of the Harriet Hale Woolley Scholarship from the Fondation des États-Unis, where he studied and performed works of Duport, Debussy, and Poulenc with Daniel Grosgurin of the Schola Cantorum. He then moved to the Cité Internationale des Arts where he spent two years on projects featuring the cello works by Beethoven and world music with the Ensemble Kimya. Andrew is a founding member of the ensemble IMAGO in residence at the Fondation des Etats-Unis, creating musical performances featuring interdisciplinary art collaborations.

A dedicated performer of all eras of music, Andrew plays music from Baroque to contemporary. Studying Baroque cello with Phoebe Carrai at the Juilliard School, he performed with the Madison Bach Musicians and as a continuo cellist for UW-Madison’s opera production of Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro. Andrew also enjoys playing music of contemporary composers, performing contemporary chamber recitals for the Bridging Arts Festival (Nurmberg, DL), and with the FOCUS! Contemporary Music Festival, ChamberFest, and with Axiom Ensemble of the Juilliard School.

Past season highlights include Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 at the Festival Radio France (Montpellier, FR); solo and chamber recitals at the Fontainebleau Festival (France); chamber performances with the Ensemble Calliopé (France); performances of the Dvořák Cello Concerto with the Middleton Community, Longmont, and University of Colorado Orchestras; solo cellist of the Orchestre Symphonique de Bretagne and the Juilliard Chamber Orchestra; Carnegie Hall concerts with the New York String Orchestra Seminar, chamber music performances with Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra principal cellist Gregor Horsch.

 Andrew balances his performance career with teaching. As an educator, he was involved with the Juilliard School’s Educational Outreach Department: performing outreach concerts as a Gluck Community Service Fellow, and teaching at the Harlem School for the Arts as an Arts Enrichment Fellow. He also taught in the classroom at Juilliard as an Ear Training Teaching Fellow while being a mentor for the Juilliard Pre-College String Ensemble. In 2016 - 2017, Andrew joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh as instructor of cello and music business, and performed with the Elmwood String Trio as Artist in Residence. He has since gone on to teach at conservatories in and around Paris, as well as create his own private studio on a global scale.

 Andrew graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder, completing his undergraduate degree in cello performance as the College of Music’s Outstanding Graduate. Studying with Professor Judith Glyde, he won the Honors Competition, leading to performances of the Dvořák Cello Concerto with the CU Symphony and the Longmont Symphony. He attended The Juilliard School as a Master of Music degree student of Richard Aaron, and studying chamber music with members of the Juilliard Quartet, the Beaux Arts Trio, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Andrew graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, completing his Doctoral studies as a student of Uri Vardi.
