Andrew Munn is a bass and collaborative artist. He performs and co-creates opera, chamber music, oratorio, performance, and multidisciplinary art. He lives in Berlin.

He has sung world premieres and principal roles on stages including Carnegie Hall, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik, Lincoln Center, Münchener Biennale, Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Salzburg State Theater, among others. On the opera stage and concert podium, he has sung with conductors including Laurence Cummings (Agripinna), Ádám Fischer (Mozart’s Requiem), Pablo Heras-Casado (Fidelio & scenes from L’Incoronazione di Poppea), Christopher Allen (La Traviata), Leon Botstein (Messiah, Die Schöpfung), Robert Spano (The Classical Style), and David Zinman (Our Town).

As the anti-hero protagonist of Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Münchener Biennale's joint-production of Lieder von Vertreibung und Nimmerwiederkehr by Bernhard Gander on a libretto by Ukrainian writer and activist Serhiy Zhadan, his performance was called "masterful"(BR Klassik) in a production of which the Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote "art cannot achieve more."

Andrew's lyric bass carries a gravitas informed by musical, social, and ecological values. From 2008 to 2014, Andrew lived in the mountains of central Appalachia working as a leading organizer in a constellation of community resistance to mountaintop removal coal mining. His work on land reform, economic transition in coal-dependent areas, and civil disobedience was published and analyzed in the Journal of Appalachian Studies and Applied Anthropology; books published by Punctum, AK, Virginia Tech, and Atlantic Monthly Presses; and was featured in documentaries including The Last Mountain and Battle for Blair Mountain on CNN.

A desire to interrogate questions of ecology, history, and power through the arts brought Andrew to the singer’s path. He trained at The Juilliard School, Bard College, and the University of Michigan, studying with Sanford Sylvan, Dawn Upshaw, Stephen West, and George Shirley. As an associated artist of the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, he has enjoyed the mentorship of José van Dam and Sophie Koch. He has been a fellow of the Aspen Summer Music Festival and School (2006, 2014, 2015), the Tanglewood Music Center (2017), Caramoor (2016), and Opera Theatre of St. Louis (2018).

Drawn to the intimate intensity of the song repertoire, Andrew has become a sought-after interpreter of major song cycles with pianists including Jacob Greenberg, Peter Grunberg, Christopher Guzman, Marlene Heiß, Adam Rothenberg, Rami Sarieddine, Walewein Witten, and Bálint Zsoldos. He has given Franz Schubert's Winterreise at Kiel Opera House, The Henry Miller Memorial Library in Big Sur, Northwestern University in Chicago, L'Arte Academy of Music in Cyprus, and Bard College. He has performed Dmitri Shostakovich's Suite on Verses by Michelangelo at the Hungarian State Opera and the Berlied Festival, where the work was presented alongside the German art historian Julia Modes’ lecture on the reception Michelangelo's works by 20th century abstract painter Cy Twombly. He premiered Berlin Verses, his adaptations of Hanns Eisler and Bertolt Brecht's Hollywooder Liederbuch, at the Music Barn in New York and the LiedFest Berlin-Oxford curated by Dietrich Henschel. For this work, he was an invited artist of Berlin Akademie der Künste and Haus für Poesie's series Re-Imagining the Lied in 2023, and the Hidalgo Festival in Munich in 2024.

Within a multidisciplinary network of artists, performers, activists, and scholars, Andrew develops new works and critical contexts for canonic repertoire. With the sound artist Kat Austen, he is developing postWinterreise, as a duet between Schubert's Winterreise and an evolving soundscape of our changing climate, ecology, and society. The team were artists in residence of The Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel to develop and workshop the piece. He is currently developing works with composers including Andile Khumalo, Andys Skordis, Conrad Winslow, and Nina C. Young; sound artists Kat Austen and Ira Hadžić; multidisciplinary artists & theorists Marco Donnarumma, Kilian Jörg, Timo Kreuser, and Margherita Pevere; and poets Alla Gutnikova and Ishion Hutchinson. These collaborations have been supported and produced in Berlin by Berliner Festspiele and Hauptstadtkulturfonds, Neustart Kultur; in Austria by Volkstheater Wien, Kunstquartier Wien, and the Donau Festival; in the Netherlands by Conflux Festival; in the United States by the Koussevitzky Music Foundation and Tanglewood Music Institute.

He maintains a private voice studio for singers and public speakers in Berlin. As a Juilliard Global Teaching Artist, he has given masterclasses in Nord Anglia International Schools in Abu Dhabi, Budapest, Lausanne, and Warsaw.

In an ongoing commitment to movements for social and environmental justice, Andrew serves on the board of the renown Highlander Center for Research and Education. In this role, he acts as a link between cultural organizers across the globe.
