Alexa is passionate about 3 specializations: music, French and Hungarian language and literature. Accordingly, she obtained her first teaching diploma in 2006 at the Eötvös Loránd University, and will be receiving her second in 2018. Her professional results achieved so far include all three subjects.
She has gained musical experiences in several areas. She started playing the cello and piano, and at the age of 13 was admitted to the Erkel Ferenc Music School in Tatabánya, where she became a student og Margit Zádorfalvy. She continued her musical studies in the Szent István Király Music Secondary School with opera singer József Hormai and Katalin Szőke.
She also sang in several prestigious choirs: Esterházy Vocal ensemble (Tata), Oroszlányi Evangelical Oratorium Choir, Szent István király Music School and Secondary School Oratorium Choir (Budapest), ELTE Female Choir and Pro Musica Mixed Choir (Budapest), Budapest Vándor Choir. She had the possibility to perform under the direction of prestigious conductors such as Matthias Beckert, Kenichiro Kobayasi, Pál Németh, Yuri Simonov, László Tardy, Tamás Vásáry and Kálmán Záborszky.
As a voice teacher, she worked first with the Esterházy Choral Ensemble in Tata, and then on a regular basis in the Budapest Vándor Choir. In 2013, organized by the Eötvös József High School in Tata, she trained the soprano and tenor sections for Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana.
She also organizes music events and is the lead organizer of several concerts, hiring several well-known soloists for numerous performances: Anthony Chudeau, Jenő Dékán, Eszter Forgó, Anne-Marie Hue-Concé, Kornél Mikecz, Ildikó Székács, Ágoston Tóka, Donát Varga.
She studied choir management during her three years with The Budapest Vándor Choir as a leading member of the Vándor Sándor and Révész László Emléke Foundation. The knowledge gained here was applied when she founded her own choir in 2016 under the name Allegro Barbaro Chamber Choir.
