Alexis Ffrench at de Doelen, Rotterdam

Alexis Ffrench performs at de Doelen in Rotterdam on 5 June 2027. He is a British classical-soul musician, composer, producer and pianist, born in 1970. His approach to Classical Soul moves between classical music and a wide range of other influences.

His latest project, 24, is made up of 24 compositions that trace the course of a single day, with a focus on the ordinary and personal moments of everyday life. Ffrench's albums Evolution (2018), Dreamland (2020) and Classical Soul Vol. 1 (2024) each reached No. 1 in the Classical Music Charts, and his music has more than a billion streams. He has headlined the Royal Albert Hall, played Latitude Festival, worked with pop artist Paloma Faith, and composed several film scores.

He is a Governing Body Member and Trustee of the Royal Academy of Music, London, and the first artistic director of the Royal Schools of Music. In June 2025 he was sworn in as an Honorary Fellow at Homerton College, Cambridge. He hosts Classical Connections on Apple Music 1.
