Anthony Smith has established himself as one of Canberra's most sought after musicians through his excellent work as a chamber musician and accompanist. In addition to his work for the ANU School of Music, he performs with choirs, ensembles and individual performers all over Canberra and throughout the region. In December 2004 he released the CD A Year in Paris with clarinettist, Nicole Canham, on the Move label. This features music by French and Australian composers, all of whom have some connection to Paris or with each other. In July 2005 Anthony made his concerto début, playing Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor with the National Capital Orchestra. In April 2003, Anthony joined the Faculty of the Casals Academy of Music. His activities there include teaching piano and musicianship, accompaniment, solo and chamber music performance. He has gained a reputation there as a dedicated, devoted teacher and inspiration to other Faculty and to advanced students considering a career in music.
