Ms. Anthony continues to perform in duo recitals with her husband, Gil Shaham, having recently completed a seven-city European tour, including performances in Bilbao, Paris, and at the Prague Spring Festival. Recent highlights include performances with the Singapore Symphony, the Aspen Festival Orchestra, and a chamber music tour with Gil Shaham, Alisa Weilerstein, and others, culminating in two performances at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall.

In this country, Ms. Anthony has performed with the symphony orchestras of Buffalo, Dayton, Ft.

A native of Tasmania, Ms. Anthony began playing the violin at an early age and had the honor of playing in a Royal Command Performance before HRH Prince Charles at age ten, with her Australian debut with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in 1983. Since then, she has appeared with all six symphony orchestras of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (Sydney, Melbourne, Queensland, West Australian, Tasmanian, and Adelaide) as well as with the Australian Youth Orchestra. She returns to perform in Australia regularly.

Ms. Anthony studied at the Conservatory of the University of Adelaide with Beryl Kimber until 1987 and continued her studies at New York’s Juilliard School, where she worked with the eminent teachers Dorothy DeLay, Felix Galimir, and Hyo Kang. She performs on an Antonio Stradivarius violin, crafted in 1728, and resides in New York City with her husband and two children, Elijah and Ella Mei.
