Alexandra Whittingham

Alexandra Whittingham is a notable guitarist, giving concerts in many countries and earning a recording contract by her early twenties. Her debut album, My European Journey, featured unusual repertory. Whittingham was born May 15, 1997, and is a native of Manchester, England. Her father was an amateur guitarist, and in emulation of him, she took up the guitar at age five. She had lessons at her local primary school, progressed rapidly, and entered Manchester's Chetham's School of Music at 11. There, Whittingham played in many kinds of ensembles and toured Germany and the Czech Republic as a member of the Wigan Youth Jazz Orchestra, but she gravitated toward classical guitar after hearing a teacher play Spanish guitar music. Whittingham attended the Royal Academy of Music in London, graduating with first class honors, winning the school's Timothy Gilson Guitar Prize, and also earning a Licentiate degree. She has continued on for a master's degree at the Royal Academy. Meanwhile, several competition wins propelled her performing career forward; she won the inaugural Edinburgh Guitar Competition in 2013, was named Gregynog Young Guitarist of the Year in 2015, and was a finalist at Denmark's Aalborg International Guitar Competition. Whittingham has given recitals at such venues as County Hall and the Milton Court Concert Hall in London, and the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. She has appeared at venues and festivals in continental Europe and the U.S., including the Festival Le Temps des Guitares in France, and she has performed concertos with the Dorset Chamber Orchestra and the Gorton Philharmonic Orchestra. Whittingham's online videos have garnered more than 26 million views as of this writing. Signed to the Delphian label, Whittingham conceived her debut album during Britain's COVID lockdown and released My European Journey in May of 2021. The album featured atypical repertory for a debut release, including 19th century pieces from around Europe.
