As a fervent explorer of solo violin repertoire, Alexandrina has curated and performed numerous recitals that highlight this unique art form. Later this season, Alexandrina will present her new project, which pays homage to the most iconic Prelude and Theme and Variations for solo violin in a compelling and playful blend of tradition and modernity.

She also earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the Manhattan School of Music, and has been mentored by Salvatore Accardo in Italy.
