University Church at Yale as well as organ scholar at the Church of St.
Louis, King of France in downtown St. Paul. Andrew has been in demand as a
choral accompanist, most recently touring with the National Lutheran Choir
and accompanying the Oak Park Concert Chorale.
Andrew has a great passion for Lutheran hymnodical and liturgical
studies, and has presented many hymn festivals, including one with David
Cherwien to celebrate the 90th birthday of Paul Manz. Andrew was the
recipient of the 2011 Alumnus of the Year award from Luther North College
Prep in Chicago, and was recently inducted to their wall of distinction.
