Anthony was a finalist at the Prague Spring International Trumpet which launched his solo career and he was invited to perform with the Slovak National Orchestra, London Festival Orchestra and Prague Symphony Orchestra. He became a musical ambassador for British Council performing British music in concerts throughout Europe and the former Eastern bloc.
