Concertmaster Andrew Beer has been described as a “virtuoso soloist” by the San Francisco Classical Voice, as possessing a “glorious string tone” by Strat Magazine, and as a “musical gift” by the New York Times. He was awarded Best Classical Artist at the 2020 NZ Music Awards, confirming his place as a star performer in New Zealand. Andrew was born in Vancouver and has performed in top concert halls throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australasia.
