We had a terrific party with Alexandra at the piano. She played the whole night, knew just how to read the room and made our party a huge success. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Response from Alexandra Frederick:
Judy, It was a great pleasure to play for your lovely holiday party in December. I have been meaning to thank you for this lovely review. Hope all is well with you and very best wishes,
Alex.
Alexandra is a professional in every sense of the word. She managed all aspects of the booking and gave us the gift of her talents making our large Welcome Event for the night before the wedding spectacular. Alex visited the venue to ensure that the sound and piano were right. She provided tremendous options for us to choose from in terms of music selections from all genres. Alex was delightful and accommodating with our guests from all ages. Her voice and accompaniment on the piano were fabulous!

Cynthia, Thank you so much for this wonderful review. You had such a beautifully planned and executed event, it was a pleasure to be involved with it, and to work with you.
I really appreciate the trouble you have taken to review my performance and it's very gratifying for me as a musician when someone understands all the hidden complexities that go into contributing one's part.
Everything came together so beautifully and I'm sure you are proud of making such a warm and welcoming evening for so many family and friends. The very best to the newly-weds and to your family!!
Alex and her partner helped take our party to the next level. My boyfriend absolutely loved the music! Thank you again!!

Response from Alexandra Frederick:
Thank you for the great review Angela! Leo Guerra and I were thrilled to play for you and James and your lovely guests.
Thank you also for your generosity. It was a GREAT night!
Alex is a real professional. She arrived early to set up her equipment and told me, in advance, her need for an extension cord and for shade. She reviewed all of the pieces I had told her that I wanted played. She was easy-going and allowed me to lead a group sing-a-long, with her playing accompaniment.

We had a 40th surprise birthday party for my husband and we hired Alex. Her and her partner on percussion were the hit of the party. Her voice is so beautiful and she sang all the songs requested. The party was a speak easy/great gatsby theme and she really transported everyone to another time. It was magical. Would definitely hire her again!

Response from Alexandra Frederick:
Thank you so much for your lovely review Sonya. Your party was absolutely AMAZING and Leo and I are so glad we could contribute musically. It was great fun to do songs in different languages for your wonderful international group of guests! And we loved the dress-up for the brilliant Speak Easy/Great Gatsby theme.
All the very best, you really know how to throw a great party!!
All who attended our wedding commented on how wonderfully Alex's play complemented the ceremony. I told them that I knew, from her warmth and sincerity, that she was "The" person for this role, from the first time we spoke.
In my mind, she added a personal elegance to the simple backdrop of the church and our wedding ceremony.
Alex was the perfect complement to my vision of our celebration.

Response from Alexandra Frederick:
Vincent, It was such a pleasure playing for you both at your beautiful wedding back in December. As a musician yourself, you had such a wonderful, clear concept of what you wanted and I'm so glad I was able to fulfill that!
Thank you for this lovely review - I meant to answer sooner, and hope all is well with you. All the very best,
Alex
Alexandra has been performing at our family's holiday party for the past few years. She sings, our guests sing with her and the music is the highlight of the evening. She is always on time. Very personable. Well organized, bringing her own audio equipment, sheet music and printed song lyrics. Lastly and most important - she is very talented musician/performer. We highly recommend Alexandra.

Happy Christmas to you and Joseph and the family!

Alex played at my daughter's bridal shower at our home last week, and was the star attraction at the event. Not only did she play and perform throughout the party, she led a sing-along of the bride-to-be's favorite songs! Everyone loved it, especially my daughter! She said that it exceeded her dreams. Alex is a delightful person and fit right in with our other guests. I look forward to seeing Alex again----thank you!

She’s a wonderful musician and received rave reviews from our guests- many of them Juilliard trained musicians themselves. We look forward to having her play for us again!

Thank you Michael! It was an absolute pleasure; a beautiful event, and I would happily play for you and your wonderful guests anytime!
Alexandra has been entertaining at our holiday party for the past 3 years. She is a fantastic piano player, lovely singing voice and is very talented. She is always well prepared with sheet music and even lyrics to hand out - so guests can sing along. She is also very personable. Alexandra is the highlight of the party and the music she brings - makes the evening so memorable. We highly recommend her.

About
British-American singing pianist Alexandra (Alex) Frederick entertains at Happy Hour on Wednesdays at the legendary DON’T TELL MAMA’S PIANO BAR in Manhattan’s Theatre District, where she has been in residence since 2016. Alex’s musical style runs the gamut from jazz-infused vocals to piano pop classics; from the Great American Songbook to international repertoire. Performing in several languages, it’s not unusual to encounter a Brazilian Bossa Nova, an upbeat Billy Joel, a sultry Stevie Wonder, a retro-style French chanson or a Broadway showtune….all in one seamless flow!
In December Alex was invited to perform at URBAN STAGES’ WINTER RHYTHMS FESTIVAL 2021, an evening honoring piano bar artists in New York, where she sang and played a Nat Cole, a Noel Coward, and a recently-composed original. She also has a BRAND NEW BOSSA NOVA AND SWING DUO, The Smoky Caipirinhas (Ky-peer-een-yuhs) with Brazilian percussionist Leo Guerra (washboard/cajon.)
Music has taken Alex to many places, both literally and figuratively – from her native UK, to the Jazz world of New York City where she studied with Sheila Jordan and Mark Murphy, to private and public events in the Northeast, venues abroad, and to the high seas entertaining nightly in piano bars for the international cruise lines.
The opportunities to tailor an event to the client’s specific needs, whether presenting a polished spotlight performance or engaging guests for an impromptu sing-along, are all viewed with care and treated with equal importance.
And if you’re looking for a bit of a musical adventure, Alexandra Frederick invites you to come along for the ride!
