  • ...a singer’s dream.

  • The most musically satisfying are the title-track, Resistance, and Ballade for a Princess, both expertly rendered by Andrew Stewart, who accompanies Melissa Wertheimer in the diptych The Silver Run, as well as the piano trio From the Headwaters.

  • Thanks for all you do for the education/outreach department at Lyric Opera Baltimore - your expertise, your attention to detail, your flexibility, your humor, your devotion - you are vital and utterly irreplaceable.
    James Harp, Artistic Director of Lyric Opera Baltimore (2010-2018) and Maryland Opera, Inc.
  • Andrew’s genius in the fields of Music and Musical Theatre are only matched by his generosity, sensitivity and passion for the craft. You would be hard-pressed to find another with his level of mastery or ability to connect with students of any age, under any circumstances.
    Matthew Bowerman, Artistic Director of Carver Theatre Company (2003-2010)
  • Musical director Andrew Stewart also accompanies the cast on the piano, and his skills with the ivories are top notch. He plays with a flourish, but never pulls focus from the main action.

(+++) FOR VOICE AND MORE

“All the singers handle the vocal lines with feeling and sensitivity, and Stewart’s accompaniment is quite good – he has a fine sense of the right times to bring the piano to the fore and to let it subside into the background.”

[Album Review] Garth Baxter: Resistance

"Pianist Andrew Stewart performs the composition with energy and brings out the melodic essence in a manner that is meaningful and easy to follow. The rhythmic structures are just as interesting as the colorful harmonies. The upper extensions of the chords are focused on creating beautiful musical colors."

[Album Review] Garth Baxter: Resistance

"The seduction begins promptly with the two-part The Silver Run, a mesmerizing evocation of the Silver Run area in Carroll County, Maryland that's given a majestic reading by Stewart and flutist Melissa Wertheimer."

"You'd be forgiven for thinking a little bit of Schubert when Romance Without Words arrives, especially when Stewart embroiders its romantic lines with such conviction. For Ballade for a Princess, on the other hand, Baxter drew for inspiration from Chopin's Fantasie-Impromptu for another wondrous solo performance by the pianist."

[Album Review] Garth Baxter: Resistance

"In "The Silver Run," consisting of the movements "Idyll" and “Cascading,” Melissa Wertheimer inspires with her soulful flute playing and beautiful fluid runs and Andrew Stewart with his sensitive interpretation on the piano.

Andrew Stewart interprets the work "Resistance" with a lively and rhythmically sustained performance of this solo piano work."
