He has been soloist with orchestras such as the Hallé, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Slovak Philharmonic, Hermitage State Orchestra (Russia), Oregon Symphony, and Calgary Philharmonic.
A native of Portland, Oregon, Brownell began studying the piano at the age of four. His teachers have included Nancy Weems, John Perry, and Joan Havill. An enthusiastic collaborative artist, Andrew Brownell was a member of a prize-winning trio at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition and has appeared in concert with principals of orchestras such as the Philharmonia, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and Vienna Philharmonic. An experienced organist and church musician, he was assistant organist at St. James' Episcopal Church, Los Angeles from 2001-06 and was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists in 2010.
