A large portion of the year sees him on the road performing with the Dutch polyphony ensemble Cappella Pratensis and the Belgian art-ensemble graindelavoix. Notably, Cappella Pratensis received the Classical Grammophone 2024 “recording of the year” for its CD, Missa Maria Zart by Jacob Obrecht. In 2022, Graindelavoix’s CD “Josquin the Undead” also won the “Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik.” 2024 also saw the publication of his first scholarly article for the Journal of Network Music and Arts, titled: “How to be in Two Places at Once: Immersion in Renaissance Music and Visual Arts”. Andrew holds degrees in music composition from the University of Texas at Austin and in vocal performance from the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, Netherlands.

Writing has grown out of Andrew’s work in the contemporary early music scene, in order to explore our own interactions with the musical past, and to make bold and adventurous connections with other disciplines. Current projects include a scholarly article on canons and encrypted music, as well as a mixed-media artistic research project with duo partner Mara Winter. Andrew draws on nearly 20 years of professional experience to inform every aspect of this practice.
