Andrew Quah is an accomplished educator, performer and composer, creating new Australian music that honours the old and redefines the new.
Andrew has seen success in a variety of fields.
His musical training began at the age of five, studying piano and later violin and voice.
He has performed as both a chorister and a soloist, and took an early interest in performance, featuring, among other roles, as one of the faces in the opening sequence of the popular children's show Mr. Squiggle.
In 2003, Andrew was a founding member of the Sydney Eclectic Composers' Society, serving as Publicity Officer, and later as Vice-President.
With SECS, he worked to realise a number of significant initiatives, including an active concert series showcasing new Australian works, a net-label promoting Australian music to the world, and a HSC education program.
In 2005 and 2006, Andrew was selected to represent the Sydney Conservatorium of Music as its nominee for President of the University of Sydney Students' Representative Council, and sat on that Council as the Conservatorium's first ever elected representative.
The same year, Andrew was appointed as Youth Issues Advisor to the NSW State Executive of the Family First Party, and later became a member of the Executive.
For the 2007 Federal Election, Andrew was appointed NSW Campaign Director for Family First - a major accomplishment for the then-21 year old.
Andrew formerly sat on the board of the Music Talks Peace Association and was formerly a member of the AART:BOXX committee of Accessible Arts, promoting participation in the Arts by the disabled.
Andrew has also lectured for the Royal Horticultural and Royal Agricultural Societies of NSW on the topic of Bonsai, and published several critically acclaimed articles on the subject.
In addition to his diverse roles at O-vation, Andrew currently tutors in Piano, Composition and Music Theory.
