Anna Kho is a Chinese/Taiwanese-Australian freelance musician and educator, specialising in classical percussion and jazz vibraphone. Due to her vast musical experiences, she has interest in various music genres, such as classical, jazz, fusion, new music, and contemporary music. She is currently a Doctor of Philosophy candidate at University of Queensland. As a graduate of Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University, she was awarded a Bachelor of Music with Honours in 2016, a thesis that explored the causes of music performance anxiety in tertiary classical and jazz percussionists. In 2017, she was awarded a Graduate Diploma in Education from University of Queensland.
Anna has been an invited guest artist in ensembles including Matt Hsu's Obscure Orchestra, Early Warning System, Nonsemble, Argo and SoundStruck. As a soloist she was featured alongside Diana Tolmie with Queensland Philharmonia Orchestra, and was a semi-finalist in the 2014 Australian Marimba Competition. She is also an active performer across Queensland musical theatre companies, including Savoyards and Phoenix Ensemble, and orchestras such as Queensland Wind Orchestra and Brisbane Symphony Orchestra. Apart from performance, her passion in education is reflected in her private studio teaching at Anna Kho Music. She also hosts a podcast titled 'Musicians Unmuted' to explore the beauty of the Brisbane music scene and its community. In addition, arranging and composing have also become musical projects in her growing career. |
