In addition to teaching, Andrew can be heard performing regularly with the Chicago Gargoyle Brass and Organ Ensemble, with whom he has recorded numerous critically-acclaimed albums, as well as the Chicago Wind Symphony. He was also a member of the Chicago Brass Band for nine years, where his playing was reviewed as “truly outstanding, handling difficult, pianissimo high entries easily, and time and again delivering flawless, gorgeous sound and great musicality.” In addition to his work with the CBGO and CWS, Andrew finds time to perform with the Big Top Circus Band and many other ensembles throughout the Chicago area.

When not performing or teaching, he can be found on his bicycle or building Lego with his wife and two daughters.
