This concerto is featured on Skipworth’s album Altiora Peto, in a “recording (that) showcases the near-superhuman technical skill and poetic artistry of flautist Andrew Nicholson” (ABC Classic).
Andrew teaches at WAAPA and UWA, and has given masterclasses in London (Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Royal Academy and Royal Colleges of Music), Manchester (RNCM, Chetham’s), Belgium, Poland, New York, Melbourne’s Australian National Academy of Music, Hong Kong, Brisbane and Sydney.
