ANDREW RUSSO

American pianist Andrew Russo is a musical interpreter of uncommon vitality. A Grammy-nominated recording artist, he has made a name for himself through his work with many of today’s leading American and European composers. Artist-in-residence at Le Moyne College, Mr. Russo has a special interest in electro-acoustic music and the hybrid world of live musical performance and theater. The breadth and diversity of his activities prompted Gramophone magazine to recently proclaim: "Andrew Russo is by no means just 'another pianist.’”
