The highest British prize-winner at the prestigious ‘Paganini’ competition for the last fifty years, Andrew Haveron studied in London at the Purcell School and the Royal College of Music. With unrivalled versatility Andrew is a highly respected soloist, chamber musician and concertmaster. As a soloist Andrew has performed concertos with conductors such as Sir Colin Davis, Sir Roger Norrington, Jiří Bělohlávek, Stanislaw Skrowachewski, David Robertson and John Wilson, performing a broad range of well known and less familiar repertoire with many of the UK’s finest orchestras.

In 1999 Andrew was appointed first violinist of the internationally acclaimed Brodsky Quartet enjoying barrier-breaking work with Elvis Costello, Björk, Paul McCartney and Sting. Andrew recorded more than fifteen albums with the quartet, many of which received industry awards.

Most recently, Andrew has taken up his new role as concertmaster of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Alongside his work in Australia this season Andrew will also be appearing with orchestras in Singapore, Hong Kong and London and will also be touring with The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.
