Steinway Artist Anthony Tobin (Tony) is a classical pianist with an emerging presence in The Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, and France. Tobin's Debussy CD Journeys has been well-received.

Pianist Malcolm Bilson observed "I was delighted to hear not only such interesting playing, but with such a fine command of technical matters, beautiful sounds, etc. And what you have to say about each piece comes through with absolute clarity!"

Tobin made a 50 minute film about Claude Debussy and recently completed a documentary about the only piano he ever purchased, a Bluethner in Brive la-Gaillarde France which influenced his later compositions
