Hello! It’s Andrew.
Recently I won a job with the Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal. As a result I am moving to Montreal in August, starting a new chapter of my life and career. I am very excited to have the opportunity to work and perform with this fantastic ensemble. That being said I will miss Toronto very much and hope to continue to be involved in Toronto’s music and percussion scene in some way for years to come.
