Andrea’s musical journey started from the time she was able to place fingers on the piano at the age of three. Born and raised in New York, she grew up in a culturally enriched environment that allowed her to explore the infinite possibilities of the arts.
A versatile musician, Andrea enjoys performing in solo, chamber, and orchestral engagements. Recent solo appearances include a performance of the Elgar Cello Concerto with the Burnley Orchestra and lunchtime concerts at Wesley Church. She has also won the Sir John Barbirolli Memorial Cello Prize at the RNCM, placed 2nd Prize in the NJS Korean Young Artist Competition, and was named Merit Winner for YoungArts. Andrea has had the privilege to work with Sally Beamish for her solo cello work, ‘Gala Water’ which was performed at the RNCM for their In-Focus Series. She has appeared in masterclasses with Gábor Takács-Nagy, Natasha Brofsky, Bongshin Ko, Eduardo Vassallo, and Paul Katz.
Andrea’s most recent chamber engagements include appearances at Wigmore Hall, Crosby Hall, the Knighton Concert Society, and the RNCM. She has also performed in collaboration with Ben Nabarro, Alex Mitchell, and Petr Prause for a performance of the Enescu Octet, and the Manchester Camerata. Her string quartet and piano trio have each won a prize at the RNCM and have both competed in the Chris Rowland Chamber Ensemble Prize in 2023. Her time since coming to the UK has provided her mentorship from musicians of the Danish String Quartet, Elias Quartet, Sitkovetsky Piano Trio, Škampa Quartet, Endellion String Quartet, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and the Manchester Camerata. Her string quartet was also granted the opportunity to work with Anna Clyne and Cassandra Miller for appearances at the RNCM for their individual In-Focus Series.
In the 2024-2025 season, Andrea made appearances in the Hallé Orchestra under the Halle/RNCM Advanced Orchestral String Programme and was awarded the Charles Hallé Award at the end of the year.
Andrea has graduated with her Bachelor's Degree in Classical Cello Performance at the Manhattan School of Music, her Master’s Degree from the Royal Northern College of Music, and will be receiving a Post-Graduate Diploma from the RNCM this winter. Andrea’s teachers, current and former, include Hannah Roberts, Julia Lichten, Madeleine Golz, and Carole Tilson. She has also received mentorship from David Geber, Qiang Tu, and Maria Kitsopoulos.
