Fire

“I always say that the end sounds like heaven, like God is
speaking to you.” Violinist Alexandra Hauser is one of
classical music’s young international stars and performs around
the globe. Today she is allowing us a peek inside of her world so
that we can see how a star was born, and what inspires her in
everyday life. How did she select her violin? How did she meet
her boyfriend? Why does she eat a banana before she
performs? Why does she love Beethoven so much?

She is both a chamber-musician and a soloist and plays on a
French Paul Kaul violin made in the1920s. She was born in
Mödling, Austria and currently resides in Munich where she
studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater. She is the
daughter of the Austrian conductor Alexis Hauser, who moved the
family to Canada when he joined the Montreal McGill Symphony
Orchestra as Artistic director and conductor. From 2004 to 2008,
Alexandra studied at the McGill Conservatory before joining the
Préconservatoire de musique de Montréal with Prof. Josée Aidans
from 2008 to 2012, after which she attended Conservatoire de
musique de Montréal with Prof. Helmut Lipsky. Subsequently, she
was admitted to the Mozarteum as a student of Prof. Paul Roczek.

Alexandra has won numerous first prizes around the world
including at the QMEA festival and the “Festival de
musique classique” in Montreal, in addition to winning
first prize three times as at the Crescendo International
competition which led to her playing in Carnegie Hall
multiple years in row. In 2013, she was awarded first
prize at the FLAME international competition in Paris.

She has studied with various experts including Prof.
Regina Brandstätter, Prof. Michael Frischenschlager,
Prof. Mauro Iurato, Igor Petrushevski, Mario Hossen,
Erich Grünberg, Laurence Kayaleh and Paul Roczek.
Together with former classmates, Alexandra formed the
Marie de France Trio which performed regularly and
competed throughout Canada and the US.

Alexandra plays everything from baroque music to 21st
century music. Her boyfriend is French Tenor Adrian
Autard, with whom she performs. Please note: this
interview was recorded before the cancellation of some of
Alexandra’s performances due to the COVID-19 virus, which
are mentioned in the interview.
