Andrew Burashko

Pianist

Andrew Burashko made his debut at the age of seventeen with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and has since established himself as one of the most sought-after soloists in Canada. Known for his eclectic repertoire and unique programming, Mr. Burashko has performed with most of the Canadian orchestras, including eight seasons with the Toronto Symphony, collaborating with conductors Marin Alsop, Andrew Davis, Jukka-Pekka Saraste and Pinchas Zukerman among many others. As a soloist he has performed extensively throughout Canada , the United States, and Europe. Mr. Burashko's musical dexterity and passion for artistic experimentation have now brought him to the artistic directorship of the Art of Time Ensemble, a chamber music society comprised of the best musicians on the Canadian scene. Since 1998, Art of Time Ensemble has been committed to building a new and younger audience for classical music. Mr. Burashko has recorded for CBC SM5000, Naxos, and Centerdisc labels, and his recording of Prokofiev’s 6th Sonata and Romeo and Juliet suite has been released on the Opening Day label. He is regularly heard on CBC Radio, and is presently a member of the faculty at the Glenn Gould Professional school in Toronto.

Andrew Burashko has regularly collaborated and performed with Peggy Baker since she began her solo company in Toronto in 1991.
