Canadian pianist Dr. Andrew Aarons has given performances in such prestigious venues as the Carnegie Hall in New York; the Manuel Theatre in Valletta, Malta; and the Wigmore Hall in London. He has been heard on live radio in Canada and the United States, and has frequent return engagements to North America.

Andrew is featured exclusively on the Introductory CD recordings which accompany the 2008 ABRSM edition of the Complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas, edited by Barry Cooper.  Having been a student of Marc Durand and Leon Fleisher in modern piano and Colin Tilney in period instrument, Andrew was more recently a pupil of late Yonty Solomon (modern piano) and David Ward (forte-piano). 

Andrew holds a degree of Master of Music in Advanced Performance (Distinction) from the Royal College of Music (RCM), London.  Most recently, Mr. Aarons completed his degree of Doctor of Music with Prof. Andrew Ball at the RCM; Andrew’s research focused on the concept of quality sound and tone production on the modern piano, and its practical application in artistic interpretation and performance.

Dr. Andrew Aarons also has a new series on YouTube called Ask a Pianist, where he discusses various topics on pianism. View his most recent episode.
