Andrew Haveron is a UK-born violinist. After a stint as first violinist of the Brodsky Quartet, he’s been in demand as an orchestral concertmaster, working with Valery Gergiev and the Orchestra for Peace and the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

Since 2013 he’s been “down under” – concertmaster of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Andrew is the soloist in Saturday’s Christchurch Symphony Orchestra concert, playing Vaughan Williams’s ever-popular The Lark Ascending.

He talks to Upbeat about working with the Brodskys and Björk, playing in the Proms and growing up in the Surrey village where Vaughan Williams himself once lived.
