Alex has been playing the piano for over 16 years. He has performed in the greater Philadelphia area as well as France, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. A graduate of Cheltenham High, Alex went on to study music and computer science at Gettysburg College. Alex studied classical piano with Dr. Jocelyn Swigger and jazz piano and improvisation with Wayne Fox and Stephen Fieldhouse.

He has just released two original debut albums "Coast to Coast" and "Bridges".
Now in its 10th year at the Cheltenham Center for the arts, Jazz Bridge is a non-profit arts organization serving a need no one else is addressing in the Philadelphia area: responding to local jazz and blues artists in times of need. Proceeds from the neighborhood concert series go to help local jazz musicians in personal or professional crisis. Concerts feature prominent jazz and blues musicians during an hour and a half long program which includes a Q&a with the artists and light refreshments. Check out our website to learn more about each performer.
