About Andrew Pearce
Andrew Pearce, Cellist and Series Founder, earned his degree at University of Southern California in the class of legendary cellist Lynn Harrell. He has performed solos with the Los Angeles and New York Philharmonics, Boston Pops, Utah Symphony and Polish Chamber Orchestra, among many others. During his 20 years playing cello in orchestra, he performed in many of the great halls of Europe and Asia, and also played lots of trios with his group, the Boston Trio, as well as other groups performing across Canada and New England. At the ripe age of 44, Andrew traded a tenured job in one America’s top five orchestras, the Boston Symphony, for the risk and thrill of a future in real estate in Austin, TX. And though building and developing is an adventure all its own, he never lost his passion for chamber music. Nowadays, Andrew divides his time between family, real estate, and living life to the fullest while sharing his love for music as cellist and Artistic Director of the new Lakeway Masterpiece Concert Series.
