Biography:
Andrew Dewar (American Cathedral, Paris)
The musical career of Andrew Dewar (PCS accompanist and piano/organ) started at an early age: he began playing the Organ at his local church in Yeovil (Somerset) at the age of nine. With a scholarship to Wells Cathedral School in 1996, he studied the organ with Rupert Gough, David Sanger, and David Briggs (improvisation), and harpsichord with Dr. David Ponsford. From 1999 to 2000, he was Organ Scholar at Wells Cathedral before moving to Germany, where he studied at the Musikhochschule, Stuttgart, with Prof. Dr. Ludger Lohmann.
He won the First Prize and the Audience Prize at St. Alban’s International Organ Festival, one of the most prestigious of all organ competitions, in 2005, but has also won a host of other international Organ Competitions, including those of Dublin, Wiesbaden, Berlin, Landau an der Isar, as well as prizes in Montreal and Schramberg and the Julius Reubke Prize at Erfurt.
Andrew’s extensive concert diary has taken him on tours to Russia and North America, and he has frequent engagements throughout Europe. In addition to his solo recital work, he both takes masterclasses and sits on adjudication panels, most recently as a jury member at the International BACH/LISZT Competition in Weimar/Erfurt.
Andrew has been Organist at the American Cathedral in Paris since 2010. In addition to his position at the Cathedral, Andrew is an accompanist for the Paris Choral Society and Assistant Professor of Organ at the Royal College of Music in London.
