About the performers:

Alexandria Hill
As a violinist, Alexandria has had the privilege to work in recording studios and stages across the US and Europe. She has performed with the Gateways festival Orchestra, Recollective Orchestra, Chineke! Orchestra, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and Chicago Sinfonietta all through which she has had the opportunity to perform at the Lincoln Center Stage, Hollywood Bowl, London Southbank Centre, Kennedy Center Stage, and NPR’s Tiny Desk.

Her eclectic music background has given her the opportunity to share the stage not only with classical musicians like Yo-Yo Ma and Anthony McGill, but also with hip-hop/R&B/jazz artists such as Laufey, John Legend, The Roots, and PJ Morton.

It wasn’t until 2020 that Alexandria found her voice as a singer. After 2 years of studying voice, she decided to begin the journey of writing and releasing music under the stage name, ALEXVNDRIA. In 2024 she released her first album and has begun performing her music in venues around NYC.
