Born in Dundee, Andy Saunders grew up in Staffordshire where he began horn lessons as an excuse to miss science lessons! He studied Music at York University before moving back north to Glasgow to complete his Masters degree at the RSAMD with Hugh Potts.
After graduating he spent a season as Solo Horn of Slovenian National Opera and Ballet in Ljubljana, before returning to Glasgow to freelance. He now plays regularly with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Scottish Opera, Royal Northern Sinfonia, Ensemble Modern, Le Concert Olympique, Daniel's Beard, and Red Note Ensemble.
Andy ran The Cottier Chamber Project, sits on the board of The Night With… and New Music Scotland, is the Performance Consultant for the University of Glasgow’s music department, and is currently leading Scotland's involvement in Nordic Music Days 2024.
