    Alexandra has been described as “having wonderful technique, a glorious voice with underlying warmth, and a connection to the text that is riveting”.

    Raised in Rosemont, ON, Alexandra’s love of music was fostered at an early age, by her participation in
    the Music for Young Children program. She studied piano with Gwen Beamish, at the University of
    Western Ontario, earning her BMus (Hons) and B.Ed. Currently studying with Canadian mezzo-soprano,
    Catherine Robbin, she received First Class Honours on her ARCT vocal performer’s exam. A frequent top
    award winner at music festivals, she recently earned 1st place at the OMFA provincial music competition
    and was awarded a scholarship by the adjudicator, Dr. Caroline Schiller.

    As a music teacher at Orillia D.C.V.I., Alexandra has directed music theatre productions, the concert choir, the
    vocal jazz ensemble, and concert bands, leading them to award-winning performances at music festivals
    at both the local and national level.

    Mother of two beautiful children, Alexandra chose to step away from teaching and has recently returned to the classroom as an occasional teacher. In her first year back, she was the pianist for the Orillia S.S. production of High School Musical. She has been a soprano for many seasons with The Cellar Singers under the baton of Mitchell Pady and Albert Greer. She was recently a soloist in their performance of Vivaldi’s Gloria.

    Last year, Alexandra performed her debut solo voice recital with internationally renowned pianist, Kyung-A Lee. She is continuing guest solo work with small ensembles throughout Ontario. Alexandra is currently the soprano section lead at St. James’ Anglican Church, Orillia.
