Andrew York is one of today’s best loved composers for classical guitar and a performer of international stature. His compositions blend the styles of ancient eras with modern musical directions, creating music that is at once vital, multi-leveled and accessible. Andrew received a GRAMMY as a member of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet during his sixteen years with the cutting-edge ensemble. York’s compositions have been featured on GRAMMY-winning recordings by Jason Vieaux (CD “Playâ€Â, featuring Andrew’s iconic composition “Sunburstâ€Â, 2015) and Sharon Isbin (CD “Journey to the New World†featuring “Andecyâ€Â, 2010). In 2006 Andrew recorded and performed with the Atlanta Symphony for the opera “Ainadamar†by Osvaldo Golijov. The recording of “Ainadamar†(Deutsche Gramophone) won two GRAMMY awards. Andrew’s most recent solo recording “Yamour†was released on vinyl as a double LP album, and garnered the number one spot in Acoustic Guitar Magazine’s “Essential Recordings of 2012†by editor Teja Gerken.
