Andrew’s highly entertaining concert work has a contemporary freshness and vitality, and showcases his skills with harmonic and orchestral colour and his gift with melody and rhetoric. For the orchestral concert programmer the 10-15 minute concertinos are perfect companion works to longer concertos, enabling a compelling first or second half.
Moving from reflective seriousness to quicksilver zest, Andrew’s musical sensibility defies conventional categorization, drawing from cabaret and jazz sensibilities as well as minimalist and expressionist influences.
