Alexandra is currently pursuing a degree in classical performance, majoring in double bass, at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music under the guidance of Alex Henery. Growing up in Adelaide, she began her musical journey at the age of seven, studying with David Schilling, which ignited her passion for classical music.
At the Sydney Conservatorium, Alexandra has performed as a soloist at UKARIA, where she played Variations on a Theme by Rossini by Niccolò Paganini, mentored by Jonathan Coco. She has also participated in several masterclasses, including sessions with Burak Marlali, where she played Misek’s 2nd Sonata, and with Nicholas Schwartz, focusing on J.C. Bach’s Adagio. As a member of the university orchestra, she has collaborated with distinguished guest artists and fellow students in various chamber music settings.
Since 2013, Alexandra has been involved with youth orchestras, gaining a broad range of orchestral experience. She participated in the 2022 Australian Youth Orchestra (AYO) Winter Season, which toured Australia under the baton of Sir Mark Elder, as well as the 2022 Summer Season, conducted by Matthew Corey, featuring soloist Pei-Sian Ng on cello. Her most recent orchestral experience was performing with Opera Australia for the Australian Ballet’s production of Oscar.
