Quotes

“Here the power of Goldsworthy was authoritative, powerful and above all exciting...here was artistry not often heard” Brett Allen-Bayes

“…in the capacities of concert programmer, pianist and speaker, (Goldsworthy) shared more of her uniquely wide set of abilities than audiences have perhaps seen before.” Graham Strahle

“Pianist and writer Anna Goldsworthy has worked with poet Rita Dove, author of Sonata Mulattica, to create a script....As Goldsworthy says, it is an archaeological dig of a program, making connections, following threads, interlacing stories. The result makes a cogent argument for re-writing history. It is also startlingly beautiful.”
Harriet Cunningham for Limelight

‘Melting Moments is a quiet masterpiece. An intimate portrait and celebration of the interior life of a woman who is a dutiful daughter, wife and mother, it is certain to become an Australian classic.’ 
Alex Miller

“Anna Goldsworthy’s sensitive playing provides a haven of insight and expression.”
