About Alejandro

Alejandro Alumbreros is a pianist, conductor, and music director who has performed in the United States, Europe and South America. Born in Spain, his passion for music ignited at an early age beginning with the accordion, an instrument frequently heard in his native Basque region.

In Spain, he collaborated as an accompanist for Bilbao Opera and Biotz Alai Choir, where he also served as an assistant conductor. Immediately following he moved to the United States on a full scholarship and earned a Master’s Degree in collaborative piano performance at Carnegie Mellon University.

After graduation, he stayed in Pittsburgh and played for Pittsburgh CLO, Point Park University Musical Theater, Opera Theatre of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Ballet, and Pittsburgh Savoyards. Upon moving to southwestern Wisconsin, Alumbreros has played for Florentine Opera, Milwaukee Ballet, Skylight Opera Theatre, UW-Parkside and the Choral Arts Society of Southeastern Wisconsin.

Alumbreros also arranges and composes music for choral and contemporary a cappella groups. His most recent choral composition, “Laugh,” was performed by the Belle Ensemble of Racine during the 2022-23 concert season, while “Celebration,” an original piece for Handbell Choir and Manual Organ, was premiered last February for the 185th Anniversary of First Presbyterian Church of Racine, in Wisconsin.
