Alexandra Knight is the Founder and CEO of Knight Classical, an international classical music company structured around Artist Management and a Creative Studio focused on the development of ambitious projects, events, and original digital work. Through Knight Classical, she works with leading musicians on long-term career development, whilst also overseeing the conception and delivery of distinctive artistic initiatives in collaboration with artists, orchestras, patrons, and cultural institutions.

Alexandra trained as a musician from an early age, studying violin, piano, and flute, before reading Music at the University of Oxford. Her studies encompassed music history, analysis, and composition, alongside interdisciplinary approaches to music including philosophy and psychology. A particular focus of her academic work lay in the psychology of musical performance and listening, an interest that continues to inform her work with artists and audiences.

Following her musical education, Alexandra remained in Oxford to complete a Graduate Diploma in Law, graduating with Distinction. Her legal studies, with a particular focus on intellectual property and the protection of performers’ artistic output, provided a practical foundation for her later work in artist representation, project development, content creation, and company leadership.

Alexandra began her professional career at HarrisonParrott, before joining International Classical Artists (ICA), where she was mentored closely by Chairman Stephen Wright. During her time at ICA, she worked in international artist management and orchestral touring, whilst also contributing to consultancy and special projects beyond the agency’s core business activities.

In 2018, Alexandra became a Director of International Classical Artists and was named successor to Stephen Wright. She founded Knight Classical in January 2020, establishing an independent company built around the existing ICA team and its long-standing artist and industry relationships, and extending its scope through the creation of an in-house Creative Studio focused on the production of ambitious projects, events, and digital work engaging with contemporary culture.

Alongside her professional work, Alexandra is engaged in advocacy around mental health and wellbeing in the music industry and is involved in mentoring young women entering the arts and cultural sector. She speaks French and German, is currently learning Russian, and works internationally from London.
