Each season, he also guest conducts leading orchestras and opera companies around the globe and adds to his discography of more than 130 recordings, which have garnered America’s Grammy Award, France’s Diapason d’Or, and other honors.

Litton’s work in ballet began while he was a Juilliard student, performing as onstage pianist for Rudolf Nureyev, Natalia Makarova, and Cynthia Gregory. An accomplished pianist, Litton is an acknowledged expert on George Gershwin and has performed and recorded Gershwin widely as both pianist and conductor. In 2014 he released his first solo piano album A Tribute to Oscar Peterson. For more information visit andrewlitton.com.
