Recital: Alexandra Marie Henderson '23 MM, Soprano
NEC's students meet one-on-one each week with a faculty artist to perfect their craft. As each one leaves NEC to make their mark in the performance world, they present a full, professional recital that is free and open to the public. It's your first look at the artists of tomorrow.
Alexandra Marie Henderson '23 MM studies Voice with Lisa Saffer and is the recipient of the Douglas Smith Scholarship for Voice.
This is an in-person event with a private stream available to the NEC community here: https://necmusic.edu/live

Gefaßter AbschiedThank you to my accompanist, Michael Banwarth;
your artistry and fine attention to detail is a gift to be around.
Thank you to my teacher and mentor, Lisa Saffer,
I could spend a lifetime thanking you for all that you’ve done for me (and likely will).
To my coach, JJ Penna, thank you for being a constant champion of my singing; any moment I spend working with you is transformative.
To my friends, thank you, I will forever cherish the memories we made together.
To my boyfriend, thank you for being endlessly supportive of my work and for always holding space for me.
To my wonderful family, thank you.
All I do is for you, and all I am is because of you.
