performance. She studied under Professors Diana Ketler and Neil Heyde.
During the 2015/2016 academic year, Alexandra was the only pianist awarded a double
Fellowship at the Royal Academy of Music. This distinction allowed her to collaborate with
the institution’s composers and perform regularly in concerts and festivals.
She has taken part in masterclasses with some of the world’s most esteemed pianists and
musicians, including Imogen Cooper, Vadym Kholodenko, Maxim Vengerov, Davide
Cabassi, Joseph Kalichstein, Joaquín Achúcarro, Yoheved Kaplinsky, Stephen Kovacevich,

Her performance career has taken her across the globe, with appearances at prestigious
venues such as Ed Landreth Hall (Fort Worth, Texas), Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room
(London), the Lobkowitz Palace (Vienna), Minato-Mirai Hall (Yokohama, Japan), Steinway
Hall (London), the Gasteig Philharmonie (Munich), and many others.
Alexandra is a founding member of the acclaimed British chamber group Ensemble Mirage,
winners of the Countess of Munster Trust and the St. John’s Smith Square Young Artists
Scheme. These recognitions have supported their touring and performance opportunities
across the UK.
Alexandra is deeply grateful to the foundations that supported her 12 years of study at the
Royal Academy of Music and made possible her extensive concert activity both in Romania
and abroad. These include the Sonoro Interferente Scholarships, the Drake Calleja Trust
(founded by tenor Joseph Calleja), the Imogen Cooper Trust, Help Musicians UK, and the
David Bowerman, Barry Sterndale-Bennett, and Countess of Munster trusts.
