Alexandra
Polin
Viola da gamba
Roots
I grew up in Israel.
Study
Cello with Prof. Schmuel Magen at the Givataim Conservatory. Viola da Gamba at the Jerusalem Academy of Music under Mr. Amit Tiefenbrunn. Schola Cantorum with Prof. Paolo Pandolfo.
During my undergraduate studies, I benefited from a scholarship from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation as well as the Erasmus exchange program, which allowed me to study with Prof. Philippe Pierlot in Brussels.
Professional
I am a full-time musician, in every aspect of this profession – an artist, a teacher, a creator.
Why
For one thing, I come from a musical family, and for another, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
Elective Affinities
I enjoy reading a good book after work, combined with long walks in nature.
