Alexandra is a prize-winner in five international competitions, including the Moscow International Vladimir Krainev Piano Competition, the International Young Pianists Competition “Astana Piano Passion,” and the International Television Contest for Young Musicians “The Nutcracker.” She was only ten when she won the Grand Prix at the II° International “Grand Piano Competition” in Moscow. Recordings of this event have travelled the world on medici.tv and YouTube, moving musicians and piano lovers globally.
Despite her young age, Alexandra has already performed in some of the most prestigious concert halls, including the Philharmonie and Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, the Konzerthaus in Vienna, the Tonhalle in Zurich, Victoria Hall in Geneva, Konserthuset in Stockholm, Palau de la Música in Barcelona, Gulbenkian in Lisbon, and Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, receiving standing ovations and enthusiastic reviews.
Since her acclaimed recital at the Salzburg Festival, Alexandra has impressed critics and the public alike with a remarkable series of international debuts. Among others, she performed with Gustavo Dudamel and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the Kioi Sinfonietta and Trevor Pinnock, the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and Paavo Järvi, the Stockholm Philharmonic and Ton Koopman, the Barcelona Symphony and Kazushi Ono, the Bergen Philharmonic and Pietari Inkinen and Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo and Kazuki Yamada.
Highlights of the 2025-26 season include her debut at Carnegie Hall in New York and Kennedy Center in Washington, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Musikverein Vienna, Orchestre National de France, Dresden Philharmonic, Hamburg Symphony, Luzern Symphony, San Diego Symphony, as well as her return to Konzerthaus Vienna, Boulez Saal Berlin, Prinzregententheater Munich and many others.
The distinguishing characteristics of Alexandra’s pianism are her spontaneous depth and consciousness, along with a sound of incredible beauty and precision. You will not find any element of showboating or mere technical demonstration in her playing; rather, there is an impressive concentration combined with purity of expression and creative imagination. She possesses a charismatic presence on stage and a distinct personality.
In June 2024, Alexandra Dovgan received the prestigious Prix Serdang from Rudolf Buchbinder and Adrian Flury in recognition of her achievements and her already significant career.
"This is one of those rare occasions. The pianist Alexandra Dovgan can hardly be called a wonder child, for while this is a wonder, it is not child’s play. One hears a performance by a grown-up individual and a Person. It is a special pleasure for me to commend the art of her remarkable music teacher, Mira Marchenko. Yet there are things that cannot be taught and learned. Alexandra Dovgan’s talent is exceptionally harmonious. Her playing is honest and concentrated. I predict a great future for her." — GRIGORY SOKOLOV (2019)
"Alexandra Dovgan finds a natural affinity with the compositions she plays imbuing the music with stillness, brilliance and breath. It is a joy to accompany this young master of music." — TREVOR PINNOCK (2021)
