She debuted at the 2022 Tivoli Festival play-directing Vivaldi/Piazzola’s Four Seasons, which led to an immediate re-invitation by the Copenhagen Philharmonic for the next season to perform Arthur Lourie’s Concerto da Camera. Other recent highlights include a tour with the Insula Orchestra, a return to performing with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and with the Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra.

Alexandra currently plays on Giovanni Batistta Guadagnini, ca. 1785 ex “Ida Levin”, on a kind loan from a music lover.
