As a saxophonist, Anthony graduated with an International Artist Diploma in chamber music on a full scholarship as well as a First Class Honours degree from the Royal Northern College of Music.

At the pinnacle of his fourth year of study at the RNCM, Anthony attained 100% in his final recital; a first for any woodwind student at the RNCM. In 2011 he was nominated by the Principal, Jonty Stockdale, for the Worshipful Company of Musicians' prestigious Silver Medal.

Following auditions with The Company, the Tillett Trust's Young Artists' Platform and the Park Lane Group's Young Artists New Year Series, Anthony has successfully secured recitals with pianist Leo Nicholson at the Wigmore Hall in 2013, 2014 and 2015, and also at the Southbank Centre's Purcell Room in 2014.

They have also performed extensively throughout the UK and at other London venues such as St. James's Piccadilly and St. Martin-in-the-fields.
