Tony's diverse artistic background reflects his passion for storytelling across cultures, languages, and eras. With a deep commitment to interdisciplinary art, he continues to bring rich, layered performances to stage and screen.
As a young autodidact thespian, Tony collaborated with director Cristián Molina on youth theatre performances in southern Chile. He also worked with visual artist Felipe Betancourt from Máquina de Artes, an artistic production agency, on numerous interdisciplinary emerging arts projects across the country. His diverse performance background includes work as a mime artist, clown, living statue, impersonator, and musician.
Tony's musical journey began with studying modern flute at the conservatoire while attending university. He later transitioned to period instruments (recorder, renaissance and baroque flutes) to perform early music repertoire with Chilean ensembles The Broken Consort and Messa di Voce. He is a current member of the Society of Recorder Players (Edinburgh branch), the Edinburgh Recorder Ensemble, conducted by Michael Graham, and Breve Encounters.
Most recently, Tony has taken up the viola da gamba to develop a solo show exploring Elizabethan and Jacobean music and poetry, blending his passion for performance with historical storytelling.
