About Anthony
Anthony is a Canberra-based pianist, musicologist, composer, and arranger. As a pianist, he has performed in Australia, England, Germany, New Caledonia, New Zealand, the USA, Spain, and Sweden.
Anthony is répétiteur of three major Canberra choirs: Canberra Choral Society, The Llewellyn Choir, and the ANU Choral Society (SCUNA). He often appears in concert with these choirs, either as piano soloist or keyboard continuo.
Anthony has worked as an accompanist for the ANU School of Music since 2000, performing hundreds of assessable recitals with undergraduate and postgraduate students, and accompanying many potential students in their auditions for entry to the School.
In December 2004, he released the CD A Year in Paris with clarinetist Nicole Canham on the Move label. In July 2007, Anthony gave a recital in conjunction with the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) retrospective of the artist George W. Lambert. This recital included the Piano Sonata of Constant Lambert (the artist’s son). Anthony’s continuing interest in the life and works of Constant Lambert developed into a research topic for his doctoral dissertation, submitted at ANU in February 2012.
Anthony has also composed music for theatre. Together with Maike Brill, Anthony wrote The Will to Freedom, a music-theatre work that premièred under the direction of Joanne Schultz at The Street Theatre in August 2010 as part of its Made in Canberra series of independent theatre and music-theatre works.
