EL PASO -- Andres "Andy" Moran celebrated his 30th birthday on Jan. 30, got married on Aug. 29, has been working on a doctorate in music all year and last May emerged from a field of nearly 55 candidates to become the second music director of the El Paso Symphony Youth Orchestras.
"It's been pretty eventful," said the affable, low-key Moran, who was studying at Indiana University in Bloomington when he heard that EPSYOs founder Benjamin Loeb was stepping down at the end of last season.
