Angus is entering their third year at ANAM in 2026, under the tutelage of Colin Prichard. Angus completed a Bachelor of Music at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, University of Melbourne, with Don Immel and Ben Anderson.
A passionate chamber musician, Angus finds delight in playing music with others. As a trombonist they have the required love of romantic orchestral music, particularly Mahler and Strauss. However, they are also excited to explore their passion for new music, in both mixed chamber and solo settings.
Highlights of Angus’ time at ANAM include performing Symphony of a Thousand with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, as a finalist in the ANAM Concerto Competition 2024 performing Daniel Schnyder’s Concerto for Bass Trombone with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and competing with the ANAM Trombone Quartet in Frankfurt at the LITTIN International Trombone Quartet Competition.
Outside of ANAM, Angus enjoyed participating in the Australian Youth Orchestra International Tour 2025 and taking part in esteemed trombonist Jörgen van Rijen’s summer masterclass.
