Anne currently resides in Melbourne working as a freelance musician, and has composed for the Federation Bells, choirs, instrumental ensembles, found objects (especially bells made from power pole caps) and music for dance theatre. Much of Anne's work has focussed on improvisation in interaction with other artists, including actors, dancers, poets, visual artists, installation artists and musicians. Anne is a member of the quintet Jouissance, exploring a dialogue between Medieval and Byzantine chant and contemporary culture. Questing Spirit, her duo with harpsichordist Peter Hagen, performs new works by Australian composers as well as writing their own arrangements of Baroque and Japanese repertoire to suit their combination.

Anne has a Masters in Ethnomusicology (Monash Univ) and a Bachelor of Music, DipEd (Melb Univ). In addition to her performance schedule, Anne regularly works with taiko drummer Toshi Sakamoto, conducting a visiting Japanese Music in Schools program which involves performances, hands-on workshops and brief residencies in primary and secondary schools. Anne has written a bilingual musical for primary schools and has also been guest presenter / lecturer at Universities across the country. Anne also works as Artist in Residence in schools and universities, inspiring students to produce cross art-form collaborative performance work.

In 2004, Anne performed at the International Shakuhachi Festival in New York City, and was a member of a forum panel on women and the shakuhachi. Anne also received a commission to compose a work for six shakuhachi which was premiered by Furuya Teruo, Okuda Michiaki, Seki Ichiro, Matama Kazushi, Ishikawa Toshimitsu and Kakizakai Kaoru at the International Shakuachi festival in Bisei, Japan in August 2004.
