Performances by Dr. Andy Hudson have been hailed as “a treat for the listener” and praised for “an uncommon singularity of purpose, technical virtuosity, youthful vigor and a mature sensitivity.” He has performed widely across the United States and Europe, including recent engagements at Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, at the International Clarinet Association ‘ClarinetFest’ in Belgium, with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on their MusicNOW series, and across Switzerland and Germany as a member of the Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra. A fierce advocate for new music, Andy has premiered dozens of works to date and has performed at the Bang on a Can Summer Marathon, the Art Institute of Chicago, the New Music Gathering, and Constellation Chicago. Andy is a frequent soloist, recently performing the concerti of Weber, Gandolfi, Mozart, and Daugherty among others. Several of his performances have been broadcast on WFMT Chicago, including his 2011 performance of Scott McAllister’s “Black Dog” with the Northwestern University Symphonic Wind Ensemble. He has toured widely with the dynamic mixed-chamber sextet Latitude 49 and is a founding member of the trio F-PLUS. Andy joined the UNCG School of Music faculty as Lecturer of Clarinet in 2018.
