AS SOLOIST
====================================
�He is a strong pianist, with a solid virtuoso technique. In fact, I do not think there is anything he cannot do at a keyboard.�
--Joan Dornemann, Assistant Conductor, The Metropolitan Opera

�He is a brilliant player and astonishingly versatile.�
--Lily Kraus, former Artist In Residence, Texas Christian University

�Bravo Shouted the Audience� - Andrew Kraus of [sic] Rock Will [Rockville] had the longest journey� With four short pieces: one by American [pianist and composer] David Saperton whose last pupil he was himself, [Cygnes Noir, by] the Frenchman with Hungarian roots Isidore Philipp, [and] the two Russians Eduard Schütt and Sergei Mikhailovich Lyapunov, Kraus delighted the audience with his virtuoso interpretation in Lemförde and inspired them to 'bravo' and 'encore'..."
--From a review in the Diepholzer Kreisblatt on August 12, 2012

�Mr. Kraus has been a superb pianist (of the Josef Hofmann/Leopold Godowsky lineage) and a sublime accompanist� he demonstrated an amazing understanding of, and gift for, the interpretation of each style of music, idiomatically and periodically.�
--Kenneth Moulton, President, Mantovani Production Associates



=========================================================
AS ACCOMPANIST/COACH
==============================
Results count, whether it�s competition for a prize, a scholarship, admission to a prestigious college or workshop, or a recital performance. Talent, hard work, a fine instrument or voice, the right teachers and coaches are all necessary. Yet, with all those things in place, results may be less than satisfactory if the accompanist collaborator is not up to the task.

Working with the right pianist is a critical part of any winner�s success strategy.

Recognized for his work as an accomplished and sensitive collaborator as well as for his work coaching emerging performers, Andrew Kraus has accompanied competition winners around the Washington, DC area with recent successes at PVYO Concerto Competition, WPAS Feder Competition, Asian American Music Society, Friday Morning Music Club Strings Competition, and the National Philharmonic Concerto Competition, Frederick Symphony Competition.

�..the pianist who listens.�
--Robert Dick, Flutist & Recording Artist, Inventor of the Glissando Headjoint®
