​

Alessandra Alcala is a Pianist, Music Director, Composer/Arranger/Orchestrator, and Educator. A Southern California native now based in NYC, she began classical piano lessons as a kid and - though she attempted to be on stage a few times - she found her home in the orchestra pit and never looked back! Alessandra served on the music teams for Center Theatre Group's revival of The Secret Garden at Los Angeles' Ahmanson Theatre, workshops for the soon-to-be-upcoming The Life of Death at the Kirk Douglas, and recently assisted with Hello, Dolly! in Concert at Carnegie Hall. She spent the past two holidays traveling the East Coast with the National Tour of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The Musical, and has served as Music Director for various projects in and around NYC, working throughout the City with companies such as Atlantic Theatre Company's Acting School, Joffrey Ballet School, and venues including Feinstein's/54 Below. Outside of the theatre world, she enjoys teaching classical piano and voice, coaching both instrumental and vocal ensembles, and inspiring generations after her to find what they enjoy in the world of music. In 2023 she released her first collection of original works titled "Fife & I," now available for purchase.

​

Alessandra is a graduate of the University of Montana School of Music, and studied Choral Music/Conducting through the Delaware Choral Symposium in Provence, France. In 2017, she traveled to Basel, Switzerland for the first time to study the traditions of the Basel Piccolo during their annual Fasnacht, further expanding her passion for discovering the music of other cultures. When not behind the keys, you can catch her performing with and arranging music for the Los Angeles Fifes and Drums, arranging old show tunes for full orchestra, or performing her own works for solo fife. Notable performances include: Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Universal Studios, and Disneyland.
