Andrew Zolinsky’s unique style of programming and his individual interpretations have secured worldwide performances at many prestigious venues and festivals.  His work with living composers brings a vivid freshness, energy and passion to his interpretations of music from previous eras. Andrew’s repertoire ranges from Bach to the present day and reflects his passion for introducing his audiences to some great but neglected music.

He has performed with major orchestras, including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, BBC National Orchestra of Wales, London Sinfonietta, Philharmonia Orchestra, London Concert Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra (Dublin) and the Orchestre National de Lorraine, and has worked with many distinguished conductors including, Stefan Asbury, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Jonathan Bloxham, Martyn Brabbins, Baldur Brönnimann, Olari Elts, Diego Masson, Ryan McAdams, Jamie Philips, Andre De Ridder, David Robertson, and Pascal Rophe.

A noted performer of contemporary music, Andrew is very closely associated with the music of Unsuk Chin, one of the finest composers of our time.  He has performed her complete Etudes for solo piano on many occasions, including the French (Festival Musica in Strasbourg), London (Wigmore Hall) and Italian (Venice Biennale) premieres.  Andrew also gave the London première of her Piano Concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Miguel Harth-Bedoya, and  in April 2025, he gave the Irish premiere with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland conducted by Olari Elts at the New Music Dublin Festival.

As part of the BBC’s ‘Total immersion’ series in 2011, Andrew gave the UK premiere of her Double Concerto with percussionist Owen Gunnell and the London Sinfonietta conducted by Stefan Asbury at the Barbican Centre.

Andrew has also worked closely with the American composer David Lang. He has given World and regional premieres of many of David Lang’s works, including the world premiere in New York of the complete set of Memory pieces.  Lang’s beautiful piano piece ‘This was written by hand’ was written especially for Andrew; he has recorded both this and the Memory Pieces on the Cantaloupe label.

As a chamber musician, Andrew has worked with the Belcea Quartet, the Vanbrugh Quartet, Emily Beynon, Krzysztof Chorzelski, Michael Collins, Benjamin Marquise Gilmore, Andrew Haveron and Daniel Hope.

Andrew has performed at most of the major UK venues, and at Merkin Hall, Brooklyn Academy of Music and Le Poisson Rouge in New York, the Venice Biennale, International Piano series at London’s Southbank Centre, Piano Rarities Festival in Husum, Germany and in China, the Czech Republic, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, Spain, Taiwan and Canada.

Recent season’s highlights included a BBC Radio Three recording with the BBCNOW conducted by Jonathan Bloxham of a previously un-recorded Piano Concerto written in 1938 by Johanna Senfter, a former student of Max Reger.

Future concerts include performances in Iceland, Ireland, New York and Poland.

In addition to his performing career, Andrew is professor of piano at the Royal College of Music, London. In recognition of his services to music and to the College, in December 2025, Andrew was made a fellow of the Royal College of Music.
