Anna Martin-Scrase – cello

Born amongst the maple-covered hills of Vermont, Anna began playing the cello aged nine. At 16 she was chosen as her state's scholar for the Interlochen Arts Camp before moving to Salzburg, Austria, where she would remain for 10 years.

Anna has completed a Bachelor of Music Performance at the University Mozarteum, where she studied with Astrid Sulz, Michael Tomasi and Heidi Litschauer. She has attended master classes with Detlef Mielke, Michael Beckmann and Reinhard Latzko.

Whilst in Austria, Anna performed throughout Europe with a variety of orchestras and ensembles including the Vienna Youth Orchestra and the Salzburg Chamber Soloists. She was a member of the Dommusik (Salzburg Cathedral ensemble) and performed at the Salzburg Festival with her quartet.

Anna is a founding member of Double Standard, a cello and guitar duo that specialises in jazz standards. She also teaches students from the very young, to the very young-at-heart at her home studio in Manly. Anna is currently undertaking her Master's of Baroque Cello at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, under the tutelage of Danny Yeadon, whilst concurrently researching the Jewish Culture League orchestra of Nazi Germany.
