In film, Andrew shares the stage with artists Eric Johnson,
Albert Lee, Doc Watson, and Mason Williams in the documentary ”Primal
Twang”. Written by Dan Crary, this film was released in 2007. For
the last decade, Andrew’s concert touring schedule has spanned thirty
countries. Recent concerts include Bogotá Columbia, Ankara Turkey
and Andrew’s eleventh tour to Japan. In 2006 Andrew recorded and performed
with the Atlanta symphony for the opera ”Ainadamar” by Osvaldo
Golijov. The recording of ”Ainadamar” (Deutsche Grammophone)
won two GRAMMY awards. York's compositions have been recorded a.o. by guitar
luminaries like John Williams, Christopher Parkening, Scott Tennant, William
Kanengiser and the LAGQ. As a published composer, York's works appear in
print worldwide through Alfred Publications, Hal Leonard, Mel Bay Publications,
Guitar Solo Publications, Doberman-Yppan in Canada, Ricordi in London, and
in Japan through Gendai and Rittor Music. Andrew is a virtuoso classical
and jazz guitarist; an extremely rare combination. As a classical guitarist,
Andrew received a grant from the Del Amo Foundation for Study in Spain,
and as a jazz player studied with Joe Diorio and Lenny Breau. Andrew received
his Master of Music degree from University of Southern California, and is
the only USC graduate in the school’s history to twice receive the
Outstanding Alumni of the Year Award – in 1997 as a member of LAGQ
and in 2003 as the sole recipient. |
