Timo Andres is a composer and pianist. His début album, Shy and Mighty, which features ten interrelated pieces for two pianos performed by himself and pianist David Kaplan, was released in 2010. Of the disc, Alex Ross wrote in The New Yorker that Shy and Mighty “achieves an unhurried grandeur that has rarely been felt in American music since John [Luther] Adams came on the scene… more mighty than shy, [Andres] sounds like himself.”
