Throughout her career she has recorded a total of three CDs, the first two of which - “Songs about Songs” and “Under the White Stars” - include Yiddish songs and several original compositions. She has performed this repertoire regularly throughout Europe and the Americas in a number of festivals and concerts. More recently, in 2018 Alejandra released her third CD, "Viene Siendo Tiempo," which is made up entirely of her own compositions. In her work, Alejandra employs her extensive background as a music therapist by, for example, facilitating singing-therapy groups as well as teacher training programs.
