Class of 2004
Van-Anh Nguyen was born into the world of classical music with her mother an opera singer and her father a classical guitarist.
Her piano studies commenced at the tender age of 13 months and her Sydney Opera House debut, at 8 years old as a diminutive but highly competent performer.
Van-Anh was offered a music scholarship to commence Year 7 in 2000. Thankfully, she accepted the scholarship and became one of our most talented, gracious and committed scholars.
Being surrounded by like-minded people at Summer School in Europe reinforced Van-Anh’s ambition of mixing performance and travel. However, she did commence a Law/Journalism degree in 2005. With only one year before graduation, Van-Anh followed her heart back to her beloved piano and performance that she loved so much.
Although not a traditional classical pianist, Van-Anh has enjoyed remarkable success as a composer and concert pianist having achieved #1 spots on the Australian iTunes Classical charts and ARIA Classical/Crossover charts.
Her versatility as a pianist has allowed her to collaborate across genres and create an intense international touring career.
