Born in Vietnam, pianist and Steinway Artist 
Andrew (Drew) Le has been hailed as "an impressive tour-de-force...a plenitude of poetic nuance" (New York Concert Review), and lauded for his "consummate piano virtuosity" (Goleta Valley Voice) and his "pistonlike precision" (Mountain Tradition). Drew was the first-prize winner of the 2004 Hilton Head International Piano Competition, and joined the piano faculty at Kent State University's Hugh A. Glauser School of Music in the Fall of 2019. Prior to Kent State University, Drew served for 14 years on the faculty at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. He and his wife, violinist Jennifer Walvoord, are the Artistic Directors of the Chamber Music Festival of Saugatuck.

Drew studied piano performance at the Interlochen Arts Academy and the University of Michigan, and was also a C.V. Starr Doctoral Fellow at the Juilliard School, where he received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in 2007. His 

teachers have included Hien Le, Vivian Kleinhuizen, Rich Ridenour, Victoria Mushkatkol, Arthur Greene, Philippe Bianconi, John Perry, and Jerome Lowenthal. Passionate about teaching, Drew's doctoral document explored the pedagogical lineage of Jerome Lowenthal's teachers, including William Kapell, Eduard Steuermann, and Alfred Cortot. Drew was appointed for three summers to the piano faculty of Interlochen Arts Camp's All-State Program as an undergraduate teaching alongside tenured professors. Later, he was selected to be Jerome Lowenthal's teaching assistant at The Juilliard School. Drew has also served on the faculty at the Gilmore Piano Camp, the Gilmore Foundation's KeysFest, and at Friends Music Camp.
