I will forever be grateful for those things.”  Andrew has been engaged with Tenebrae, Voces8 Foundation Choir and Ex Cathedra.  He serves as a Gentleman of Her Majesty’s Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace.  Andrew can be heard on Friday evening of Bach Festival, singing in BWV:  Cleveland’s Baroque Choir, and will return to campus as a member of The Gesualdo Six, the acclaimed early music group, performing in Gamble Auditorium in October 2020.
