Mr Anthony Abouhamad

Anthony performs on a wide variety of historical keyboard instruments from the eighteenth century including the harpsichord, organ, fortepiano and clavichord. He earned his PhD at the University of Sydney in the study of historical performance practices. Building an awareness of music’s cultural context is central to his attitude towards music making.

While studying harpsichord and fortepiano at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, he was employed with chamber groups and orchestras in The Netherlands, France, U.K. and the United States. At home, Anthony enjoys performing with the Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Hobart Symphony Orchestras as well as the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra.

Currently, Anthony holds a lecturing position at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music where he teaches in both musicology and historical performance. In teaching, he focuses on clarifying the connection between theory and practice to provide students with the fundamental tools to refine their performance skills.
