Biography

After growing up in rural Connecticut, an environment that greatly influences his work,[3] Andres attended Yale University for both his undergraduate and graduate education, studying with Martin Bresnick, Ingram Marshall, Aaron Jay Kernis, Christopher Theofanidis, John Halle, Matthew Suttor, Kathryn Alexander, Michael Klingbeil, and Orianna Webb. He was a member of Skull and Bones.[4] He is also a graduate of Juilliard's pre-college program.[5]

Andres first rose to prominence at age 24, when his piece Nightjar was commissioned and performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and John Adams.[6][7] Since then, he has been commissioned by Wigmore Hall,[8] Carnegie Hall,[9] the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, San Francisco Performances,[10] the Gilmore Foundation, and the Library of Congress.[11] Andres has performed solo recitals at (Le) Poisson Rouge,[12] Wigmore Hall, and Lincoln Center,[13] and alongside artists such as Gabriel Kahane,[11] Philip Glass,[14] and David Kaplan.

In 2014, he performed with the Naumburg Orchestral Concerts, in the Naumburg Bandshell, Central Park, in the summer series.[15]

Works

Andres's work has received broad critical acclaim and is particularly noted for its seamless blend of traditional and contemporary idioms. Alex Ross of The New Yorker has called Andres "quietly awesome" and his music "the kind of sprawling, brazen work that a young composer should write."[7][16]

Andres draws from a wide array of influences, including bands such as Sigur Rós, Boards of Canada, Brian Eno and Radiohead,[5] as well as classical music by Brahms, Schumann, Mozart, and Charles Ives.[3][17] He is also influenced by his love of design and typography.[17]

Andres has repeatedly collaborated with Sufjan Stevens, including on the albums The Decalogue and Reflections.[18][19] He arranged music from Stevens's 2005 album Illinois for a 2024 Broadway adaptation, Illinoise, for which he received a Tony Award nomination for Best Orchestrations.[20]
