Anthony Pateras, compositore e pianista, originario di Melbourne, vive attualmente a Berlino.

Le sue composizioni sono state eseguite da Brett Dean, LA Philharmonic Association, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Erkki Veltheim, Speak Percussion, Richard Tognetti e Satu Vänskä, The Hague, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble Phoenix Basel, Timothy Munro, Ensemble Intégrales e Vanessa Tomlinson.
