During her week-long trip to Vietnam, Andrews will give a master class with Chinese-American composer Bright Sheng, who is respected as one of the foremost contemporary composers. His stage, orchestral, chamber and vocal works are performed regularly throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

Andrews will also perform at a local jazz club with celebrated jazz saxophonist Tran Manh Tuan and give a master class to piano students at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music, which is co-sponsoring her trip, along with Monmouth College.

"I look forward to representing the college as a guest artist at the conservatory," said Andrews. "The trip promises to be an exciting interaction between Monmouth College and Vietnam."

Upon returning, Andrews will discuss her trip during a "Global Perspectives" class on campus. She plans to perform the works she’s premiering in Vietnam at a concert in Monmouth next spring.
