Biography
Anthony is a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists, and studied with Harry Gabb, David Sanger, and Anne Page. He gave the first complete performance of Daniel Roth’s magnum opus, Livre d’Orgue pour le Magnificat, and has performed four times in St. Sulpice, Paris, including a recital for Roth’s 70th birthday. Daniel Roth, Thierry Pallesco, Laurence Caldecote, and David Loxley-Blount have written works for him,
and he has premiered various works, including Richard Francis’ four-movement symphony on themes by Lefébure-Wély, four of Michael Whytock’s Six Meditations on Gregorian Chant Themes, and Huw Morgan’s Ave Rosa Sine Spinis. Projects have included anniversary performances of the complete works of Buxtehude (a 6½ hour recital), Homilius (2½ hours), Tunder, Kneller, Alphonse Schmitt, Brahms, and Mendelssohn, and an ongoing series resurrecting forgotten French music from the early 20th century.
Anthony was an organ scholar and research student at Cambridge University, writing a doctorate on Stravinsky. He has worked at the University of East Anglia, the Royal Northern College of Music, and Middlesex University, and is currently Head of Undergraduate Programmes at the Royal Academy of Music. His publications include books on Music and Gesture, essays on Balakirev, Cage, Debussy, Delius, Goehr, Holloway, Roth, and Stravinsky, and numerous articles on issues in Performance Studies.
