Andrew began participating in Australian Youth Orchestra programs at the age of 14. At AYO, he developed a deep love for orchestral and chamber music. His quartet, The Felix Quartet, has toured Kuhmo Finland, Berlin, Basel and Vienna to seek tutelage from renowned pedagogues such as The Artemis Quartet, Prof. Wayne Foster-Smith, Johannes Meissl, Quartetto di Cremona and Silvia Simionescu. In 2024, the Felix Quartet gave the Australian Premier of Weinberg String Quartet no.6 at the Wyvern Music Forestville concert.

Andrew is now a casual musician with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and the Australian Chamber Orchestra as well as guest concertmaster of the Sydney Contemporary Orchestra.

AYO mentors have inspired Andrew’s love for pedagogy. Under the Australian Festival of Chamber Music Outreach Program, the Felix Quartet held workshops at the Cathedral School Townsville, Townsville Grammar, Ayr High School and Pimlico High School. In 2024, Andrew also ran the string program at Fercourt Public School, NSW. He strongly believes in the importance of music education and wants to inspire the next generation of young Australian students to discover a passion for music-making.
