About Andrew
Acclaimed as “a virtuoso saxophonist" (Beverly Hills National Auditions), and a “magician showing off his tricks" (www.austin360.com), Indian-American saxophonist Andrew Harrison has emerged as one of today’s most unique and engaging musicians, leading him to perform hundreds of concerts throughout the United States and Europe as a chamber musician and soloist. He has placed in numerous prestigious competitions, including the U.S. “Pershing’s Own” Collegiate Concerto Competition, the LMC Frances Walton Competition, and most recently the American Prize in Music. Dr. Harrison has been featured with several groups, including the Downey Symphony Orchestra, Music Academy of the West Orchestra, Cal Poly Pomona and La Sierra University Wind Ensembles, and the Pacific Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble, and his playing has been described as "spectacular" (LA Opus) with a sound that is "broad and rich" (The Instrumentalist).
