Noah is a second year musician at ANAM where he is mentored by Adam Chalabi and Zoë Black. He began sharing music from the age of 10, often improvising over contemporary church music or performing compositions by his older sister, Christiana. Family has always played a central role in his musical journey, and regular performances with his four siblings continue to be an important part of both family life and personal recreation.
Noah began his undergraduate studies at the Melbourne Conservatorium, University of Melbourne, working with Professor Elizabeth Sellars, before completing a Bachelor degree at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, where he studied under Michele Walsh.
Whilst at Griffith University, Noah was awarded the Raoul P. Neil and Airdrie P. Neil Foundation Scholarship (2024), the Paganini Prize (2024), and the Griffith Award for Academic Excellence (2023).
Noah has participated in side-by-side programs with prestigious ensembles such as the Melbourne, Queensland and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras as well as the Australian String Quartet.
A passionate advocate for early music, Noah credits his mentor Rachel Beasley with sparking his deep interest in this genre. He believes that exploring new expressive possibilities in early music often leads to greater creative insight in contemporary works.
Outside of music, Noah has a love for dance and attended weekly modern jive lessons before moving to Melbourne.
