Through his music, pianist and composer Alexis Ffrench expresses innocence, light and hope. Described by Classic FM as "beautifully simple music" and "the perfect antidote to a stressful afternoon", his evocative, soaring melodies and luscious harmonies provide the listener with a moment for reflection.

In partnership with the Royal Albert Hall, Alexis filmed this video on the famous big red hand built Yamaha S6 Grand Piano in the Elgar Room; the only piano of its kind in the UK, originally played by Sir Elton John.

Ffrench says: "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is such a beautiful song. I think the craft in the song is so compelling, and it reminds me of great black & white movies that I used to watch as a child and feel nostalgic about now. I think there’s a warmth and simplicity and honesty, and one can’t help but feel a connection to the song."

Alexis Ffrench, geboren 1970, ist nicht nur Pianist, Komponist und Produzent, sondern zugleich einer der Pioniere des »Classical Soul«-Sound. Er stellt die sogenannte »klassische Musik« in einen neuen Frame und beweist, auf welche Art und Weise sich diese weiterentwickeln kann und könnte. Seine Musik spricht die Seele direkt an und ist für alle zugänglich; mit mehr als einer halben Million Streams schafft er eine ganz eigene Musikwelt – von Bach und Debussy bis hin zu Hollywood-Sounds, Gospel, R'n'B und darüber hinaus. Kein Wunder, dass der Verfechter der klassischen Musikausbildung für sein tatkräftiges, Grenzen überwindendes Engagement mit angesehenen Preisen bedacht wurde. Der Brite schrieb auch die Musik zu dem Film »The House Where The Mermaid Sleeps« (2018), 2022 veröffentlichte er sein Album »Truth«. Seine Single »Walk With Us« (2020) ist eine Hommage an die Black-Lives-Matter-Bewegung.

Alexis Ffrench, born in 1970, is not only a pianist, composer and producer, but also one of the pioneers of the »Classical Soul« sound. He puts the so-called »classical music« in a new frame and proves in which way it can and could evolve. His music speaks directly to the soul and is accessible to all; with more than half a million streams, he is creating a musical world all his own - from Bach and Debussy to Hollywood sounds, gospel, R'n'B and beyond. No wonder the champion of classical music education has won prestigious awards for his energetic, boundary-pushing efforts. The Brit also wrote the music for the film »The House Where The Mermaid Sleeps« (2018), and in 2022 he released his album »Truth«. His single »Walk With Us« (2020) is a tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement.
