About our Artistic Director...

Praised by critics for his passionate expression and dazzling technique, pianist Andrew Armstrong has delighted audiences across Asia, Europe, Latin America, Canada, and the United States, including performances at Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, London’s Wigmore Hall, the Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, and Warsaw’s National Philharmonic.

​

Andrew’s orchestral engagements across the globe have encompassed a vast repertoire of more than 60 concertos with orchestra as well as solo recitals and in chamber music concerts at festivals around the world. The last few seasons have taken him to Europe with performances in Glasgow at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Geneva at the Conservatoire de Musique de Geneve and at the Dresden Music Festival. He crisscrossed Canada with concerts in Halifax, Nova Scotia at the Scotia Fest, Montreal at the Festival Musique de Chambre and Vancouver at the Vancouver Chamber Music Society. And after joining violinist James Ehnes to perform the complete Beethoven Violin Sonata cycle in Melbourne, Australia as well as a duo recital in Sydney, he gave solo recital in Singapore.

​

This 2024-25 season, Andrew will perform Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra in Winnipeg and Rachmaninov’s 2nd Piano Concerto with the Waterbury Symphony in Connecticut.  In addition to his thriving chamber music series in Beaufort and Columbia, SC, New Canaan, CT, and at the Fabbri Mansion in New York City,  Andrew will direct special chamber music performances this season in Glens Falls, NY , Charleston, Kiawah Island, and Greenville, SC.

​

 The inaugural season of his new chamber series, “A Little Night Music” at Tuckerman Hall in Worcester, MA, is especially close to his heart, since this city is where Andrew Armstrong lives happily with his wife Esty, their three children Jack (18), Elise (13), and Gabriel (7), and their two dogs Comet & Dooker.

Armstrong’s phrases were pristine, each passage imbued with subtle weight…
