Welcome to Annastasia Radford's Music!
Annastasia began her musical training in Calgary, Canada where she went to Mount Royal Conservatory from the age of 7 to learn from the best musicians in the province. She attended the Junior program participating in orchestra, individual lessons and group classes. Her family moved every two years around the world and where ever she went she did as much music as possible. She was the youngest player to join the National Youth Orchestra of Trinidad & Tobago in 1998 and toured with them. She continued her musical adventure in Vienna in the National Youth International Orchestra. She was selected to be in this orchestra for two years. Annastasia later moved to Kuwait where she was involved in many musicals and orchestral concerts. When she finally moved to England she received a music scholarship in Leighton Park school where she completed her A levels. Annastasia had top marks in her Maths, Physics, Chemistry and Music A levels but chose Music in the end.
