Anna Goldsworthy (born 9 June 1974) is an Australian writer and classical pianist.
Goldsworthy was born in Adelaide as the eldest daughter of the writer Peter Goldsworthy and Helen Goldsworthy. She began studying the piano at the age of six. At the age of eleven she was accepted into the Elder Conservatorium, studying with the distinguished pedagogue Eleonora Sivan, to whom she attributes the fact that she is now a pianist. Goldsworthy completed her Bachelor of Music degree with honours at the Elder Conservatorium before acquiring a Master of Music degree at Texas Christian University, where she held the F. Howard and Mary D. Walsh Graduate Piano Scholarship and studied with Tamás Ungár. In 2004, she graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree under the supervision of Ronald Farren-Price, who has been an important mentor. Her thesis topic was "Fanny Hensel and Virtuosity". Additionally, Goldsworthy has studied in Moscow with Lev Naumov, with the support of an Arts SA Emerging Artist Award, and in the Advanced Performance Program at the Australian National Academy of Music.
Goldsworthy is an accomplished classical pianist. In 2009 she was a juror for Chamber Music Australia's Asia Pacific Chamber Music Competition.
In 2004, Goldsworthy completed a world tour performing in festivals and concert halls in Australia, Asia, Europe and North and South America. Highlights included appearances at the Teatro Colón for the Buenos Aires International Music Festival, at the Prince Yong Theatre in Beijing, for the Orchestra of Colours in Athens, and for the Festival Musicale delli Nazioni in Rome. In 2005, she performed the Clara Schumann concerto in the Masters Series of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, and undertook a three-month residency at the Australia Council Studio at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. She currently teaches piano at the University of Melbourne and is artist-in-residence at Janet Clarke Hall.
