Alexandra graduated in 2007 from the University of Huddersfield with an Upper Second Degree in Music, having previously studied Piano at Trinity College of Music, in London. Since her graduation she has been in demand as a harpist, performing all over the country: on the television, for royalty, MP’s, and even rock stars.

Previous engagements include providing music at a drinks reception for HRH Queen Elizabeth II on her visit to the University of Huddersfield, at the new London Venue King’s Place for their corporate opening ceremony, on Channel 4’s television series Come Dine With Me, for a party hosted by rock band The Cure, and for PRS for Music's Christmas charity luncheon alongside their guest speaker Rick Wakeman.

In 2004 Alexandra performed with the Brighton Youth Orchestra at Glyndebourne Opera House, and at the Brighton Dome in a concert featuring Evelyn Glennie. During her time at Huddersfield she performed regularly with the orchestra, symphonic wind orchestra and new music ensemble, with whom she performed a concert as part of the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and which was subsequently broadcast on BBC radio 3. She performed again for the festival in 2007, in an ensemble of 20 harpists, including Rhodri Davies and Eira Lynne Jones. She has also performed regularly with the Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra.

In 2009 Alexandra resumed her harp studies with Helen Arnold, achieving a high distinction for her final Grade 8, and the ABRSM Diploma in Performance.

Alexandra is available for hire for all kinds of functions. She has played for weddings and other events in churches, castles, hotels, stately homes, museums, colleges and universities, spas and even at the Houses of Parliament. Her varied repertoire ranges from classical and folk to more popular pieces.
