About Heartfelt Harmonies
Alexandra Pond,
Alexandra started playing piano at the age of 5 and her love for music has grown throughout the years. She studied piano at the Eastman School of Music's continuing education program while in high school and later went to SUNY Fredonia to pursue a degree in music education, where her primary instrument was piano. As music director at Lutheran Church of Our Saviour, she has performed at numerous weddings, both at the church and at local venues. She prides herself in working with couples to pick the perfect music for their ceremony or special occasion. Through her love of and dedication to music she will add a unique touch to your special day. Since Alexandra was unable to perform at her own wedding, she had the church's bell choir (which she normally directs) perform the music, along with Nichole on vocals.
She lives in Spencerport with her husband, Andrew and yellow lab, Nessa. Alexandra also teaches piano lessons to all ages and has a small craft business, Notable Creations.
Pianist/Organist
Nichole has been singing in choirs since she was in the fourth grade. In college, she traveled to Wales to compete in an international music festival with the University of Rochester Choir and Chamber Singers. She has studied voice at the Eastman School of Music and the Hochstein School of Music and Dance, concentrating in classical and opera. She can perform songs in several languages including English, Italian, French, German, Spanish and Latin. Currently Nichole is a cantor at St. Theodores Church in Gates where she sings for weddings and funeral masses.

Nichole and Alexandra are life-long friends who love performing together. They share a love of music and look forward to working with you on your upcoming event.
