Andrew Le

While at Hope College, Drew founded and directed Holland's popular Brown Bag Series. Passionate about serving the global community, he has also performed recitals as food drives, the last of which brought in close to 600 non-perishable items that were donated to the Holland Rescue Mission. In 2015, Drew performed a benefit concert that raised over $9,000.00, all of which was given to The Reformed Church in America for Syrian refugee crisis relief efforts in Europe.

Drew studied piano performance at the Interlochen Arts Academy and the University of Michigan, and was also a C.V. Starr Doctoral Fellow at the Juilliard School, where he received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in 2007. His teachers have included Hien Le, Vivian Kleinhuizen, Rich Ridenour, Victoria Mushkatkol, Arthur Greene, Philippe Bianconi, John Perry, and Jerome Lowenthal. Passionate about teaching, Drew's doctoral document explored the pedagogical lineage of Jerome Lowenthal's teachers, including William Kapell, Eduard Steuermann, and Alfred Cortot. Drew was appointed for three summers to the piano faculty of Interlochen Arts Camp's All-State Program as an undergraduate teaching alongside tenured professors. Later, he was selected to be Jerome Lowenthal's teaching assistant at The Juilliard School. Drew has also served on the faculty at the Gilmore Piano Camp, the Gilmore Foundation's KeysFest, and at Friends Music Camp.

As a photographer, Drew has been professionally photographing weddings, portraits, and events since 2007. Drew is a member of Sony Pro Imaging Support and is a former Getty Images Artist. Exhibitions of his photographic work have been presented all across West Michigan.
