For more than 30 years, two-time Juno Award winning pianist/composer Andy Milne has demonstrated boundless versatility, collaborating with dancers, film makers, authors, visual artists, poets and musicians spanning multiple genres. Milne’s career scoring for film and tv began in 2011, when he scored The Captains and six additional Star Trek themed documentaries for acclaimed actor/director William Shatner. His credits also include two films for Emmy Award winning director Michèle Stephenson. His score for her “Revolution Redux” episode of the CBC Television documentary series “Black Life – Untold Stories” was nominated for a 2024 Canadian Screen Music Award. Milne’s music can also be heard in the Emmy nominated Showtime series “Fellow Travelers”, on which he served as music arranger and director, and as a cast member.

Milne has released 12 recordings as a leader or co-leader, and actively composes for orchestras and chamber ensembles. In 2024, The Toronto Symphony, along with featured saxophone soloist Joe Lovano, premiered select Milne orchestral arrangements as part of the John Coltrane: Legacy for Orchestra project. These works were also performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra and Boston Symphony Orchestra. Another 2024 highlight for Milne included the premiere of Milne’s piano quintet, commissioned by the Banff International String Quartet Competition, and performed by Milne and the Isidore String Quartet.

A former student of Oscar Peterson, Milne has collaborated with a range of artists including Ralph Alessi, Ravi Coltrane, Andrew Cyrille, Sekou Sundiata, Avery Brooks, Bruce Cockburn, and Cassandra Wilson. During his early career in the 1990s, he was at the center of the M-BASE Collective as a core member of saxophonist Steve Coleman’s bands and became a distinct and respected voice at the heart of New York’s creative jazz scene.
