He performed the Mozart Piano Concerto #20 with New York Sinfonietta in New York City when he was only 11 years old and received a raving review:

“This was soul-satisfying Mozart. Anson is a major talent whose gifts deserve careful nurturing. One could readily imagine that one was hearing Mozart himself—as a child prodigy—at the keyboard, so preternaturally profound was young Anson’s interpretation. It is unlikely that Mozart could have played this concerto any more convincingly than Anson did.” ~ The Epoch Times, New York.
