Andy Clausen: Artist-In-Residence Concert
Andy Clausen is a GRAMMY-nominated trombonist, composer, arranger, producer, and educator. He is a founding member of genre-bending brass quartet The Westerlies, an in-demand collaborator with artists including Fleet Foxes, Joanna Newsom, Aaron Dessner, Aoife O’Donovan, Sam Amidon, Haley Heynderickx, Silvana Estrada, and Nico Muhly, and a prolific composer of film, podcast, and concert music. His latest project, Heart of Tones: Solo Trombone at The Tank, explores the most vulnerable and expressive qualities of the instrument, heightened through immersive live electronics and sound design.
“A melody from Andy Clausen is pure moonlight. It’s lovely and magical, full of warmth, and it can brighten up the room. But moonlight also is a source of mystery, with ominous overtones and an electric tension” – Bandcamp Daily
In addition to his performance work, Andy is an active composer for film, television, and radio, contributing original music to NBC, MSNBC, Showtime, The Michelle Obama Podcast, PBS, NPR, The New York Times, Blue Chalk Media, the Whitney Museum, and Freedom House.
Andy is a graduate of The Juilliard School, and in 2021 joined the faculty at The New School as an artist-in-residence and professor of trombone and composition. From 2015–2023, Andy served as Artistic Director for Jazz at New York Youth Symphony, collaborating with guest artists including Maria Schneider, Rufus Reid, Matt Wilson, Ingrid Jensen, Ted Nash, Jim McNeely, Sean Jones, and more. Additionally, Andy works with thousands of students each year through The Westerlies’ educational initiatives, and has given masterclasses at Juilliard, Yale, Colburn, Northwestern, Manhattan School of Music, Boston Conservatory, and Michigan State University.
Andy is an endorsing artist of Conn-Selmer/King Trombones, Eventide Effects, and Moog Synthesizers. He lives in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, with his wife Rachel. Aside from music, he enjoys cooking, cycling, walking, travel, and photography.
