At age 22, he won the principal flute position with the Brazilian Marines Wind Symphony in Rio de Janeiro – his first professional music job, where he performed throughout South America. Andreas received 1st Prize in multiple competitions as both soloist and chamber musician. One competition led him to receive a scholarship to attend James Madison University in Virginia. During his graduate studies, he performed the Reinecke Flute Concerto with the University's Orchestra. Andreas continued his graduate studies at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. A highpoint of his time at Peabody was his performance of the Nielsen Flute Concerto with the Peabody Symphony Orchestra.
