She bridges music and art with galleries, museums, and institutions like the Heidi Horten Collection Vienna, Wien Museum, Belvedere, Mozart Haus, and the Gustav Mahler Society, highlighting and blending different arts to make them more accessible.  

She plays with orchestras such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, and Bamberg Symphony. 

A Bösendorfer Artist for over 20 years, Alexandra's upcoming highlights include a new CD featuring works by Norwegian composer Martin Romberg and a Piano Concerto composed for her by Chilean composer Luis Saglie, to be performed in Chile in 2025.  Her innovative project "Klimt meets Bösendorfer - The Tree of Life" blends solo piano, Klimt’s favourite songs, poetry, and a unique Bösendorfer grand piano.
