Experienced chamber musician and teacher, Antonia has worked as an assistant teacher at the Junior Royal Academy of Music. She also works as teaching-assistant to Royal Academy of Music Professor Remus Azoitei.   

As a performer Antonia plays regularly with the BBC Concert Orchestra (full member 2006-2008) and the City of London Sinfonia. She has appeared many times with the chamber ensemble London Concertante with whom she has also performed as concerto soloist at St. Martin-in-the-Fields. She has been guest leader of ensembles from the Aurora Orchestra and Southbank Sinfonia, appeared as leader of London Concertante, played as guest principal of City of London Sinfonia and as guest co-principal second violin in the BBC Concert Orchestra. She has been the on-stage violinist for Rob Brydon in his stand-up comedy show, "A Night of Songs and Laughter" since 2019, recently touring New Zealand and Australia.  

Antonia is a mother of two boys and has particular experience teaching both Under-5's and, at the opposite end of the spectrum post-Grade 8, college-entrance level and adult beginners. She plays the piano to post-Grade 8 level and frequently accompanies her students in lessons, concerts and competitions.   Her students' successes include winning prizes at the North London Music Festival, performing concertos with orchestra, achieving ABRSM Grade 8 distinction, gaining entry into the NYO and NYCO and being accepted into top London music conservatoires. She provides regular performing opportunities with in-house informal concerts for her students. In 2010 Antonia launched Classical Babies, the first company of its kind, running live chamber music concerts exclusively for mums and babies around London and across the UK, which she ran for 5 years until she enrolled in full-time drama school.

Antonia teaches piano up to ABRSM Grade 5 level and music theory and aural up to Grade 8. Group lessons for aural and theory available on request. Antonia's sons have ASD/Aspergers and she therefore has extensive knowledge of autism and is experienced in teaching children on the spectrum (including but not limited to, her own!)
