About this user

Just three years after Anthony started playing the piano and reading music, he entered his first piano competition, and placed 2nd at Florida's 2009-2010 Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) Junior Performance STATE PIANO COMPETITION in Oct. 2009, in Tampa, Florida, at the age of 12. Four months later he won 3rd Prize in the Pompano Beach Piano Competition. He currently studies with renowned American pianist, Phillip Evans, who is a former faculty member of both the Juilliard and Manhattan Schools of Music and currently a faculty member at Lynn University's Conservatory of Music in Boca Raton. Anthony also studied at Lynn's Preparatory School of Music under Roberta Rust. He began his studies there with Spanish pianist José Menor.

In March 2011 he was selected and performed as the final performer for the CHOPIN FOUNDATION OF THE UNITED STATES' Young Pianists' Concert.

At the age of 9, Anthony was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, and 5 months later he turned to playing the piano, which helped him heroically work through the dramatic changes he had to make. This experience has contributed tremendously to his passion in playing the piano. Anthony especially enjoys playing Classical Music and has rapidly gained recognition for his talent. In June 2010, he received a double standing-ovation at his first piano solo concert, where he shared his love for music and the composers of the pieces he presented, as well as stories about how music has changed his life.

****************************************************

ANTHONY HAS THE UNIQUE ABILITY OF MEMORIZING LONG, DIFFICUT PIECES - such as Khachaturian's TOCATTA that he memorized in less than 24 hours then played it without music.

HE ALSO HAS THE AMAZING TALENT OF PLAYING THE PIANO WHILE LYING FLAT ON HIS BACK WITH HIS HANDS CRISS-CROSSED OVER HIS HEAD!

****************************************************

Anthony is not only a piano prodigy and virtuoso; he excels in all areas of his academic studies. In June 2011 he graduated at the top of his 8th grade student from St. Mark Catholic School, where he placed 1st in the Science Fair, Spelling Bee, Elocution and Essay Contests. His Science project placed 3rd in Broward County, where he analyzed the relationship between Bach's Fugues and Memory. He is a member of the National Junior Honor Society and currently has a 5.5 culmative GPA in Archbishop McCarthy High School's Smart Start Math Program. He is a member of Duke University's Talent Identification Program and received the 2008 Pinnacle Award by the Broward County Non-Public School Association, unprecedentedly as a 5th grader from St. Mark. He was voted President by his 5th Grade Class, has earned many Boy Scouting awards and emblems, and has a strong faith that drives him to selflessly serve others. His watercolor painting, "Everglades Reflections," received 1st Prize in Broward County for the 2008 Everglades Eyes Children's Art Competition and his other artwork has been featured frequently at Archbishop McCarthy High School's Fine Arts Extravaganza. In 2010 he placed 1st for St. Mark's 7th grade at St. Thomas Aquinas High School's Math Competition and 2nd in Broward County Council of Teachers of Mathematics Math Competition, where he led his team to win 1st place overall for Broward County in 2011.

Following his debut as piano accompanist for St. Mark's Choir, the group performed for "Disney's Magic Music Days" in the Magic Kingdom at Orlando's Walt Disney World® Resort and then led them to win Grand Prize in the Show Choir category at the "Music USA Festival" State Competition at Universal Studios® in Orlando, Florida, where Anthony was personally recognized as the top performer out of the hundreds of students participating, winning "Outstanding Accompanist". He was awarded 1st Prize in Music at Archbishop McCarthy High School's Academic Olympics and was the pianist for their school's musical drama, "Lucky Stiff" in December 2011 as well as the pianist for their Maverick Singers Choral Group. He accompanied two of the Maverick Singers while they competed at the state level and they both received SUPERIOR RATINGS from the Florida's Vocal Association.

Anthony has a strong faith that drives him to selflessly serve others. He recently initiated a volunteer program, Music for Smiles, where he and other local musicians perform at nursing homes, assisted living facilities, special needs centers, and charitable events throughout South Florida and in June 2011 he began to teach piano lessons to the severly disabled.
