Alfie Hickson

Accompanist

Alfie is the resident pianist for Encore Choirs, known for bringing his vibrant energy, musical creativity, and a great sense of humour to every session—especially when bouncing off choir leader Josh! With a flair for turning accompaniment into artistry, Alfie adds a unique groove and personality to the Encore sound.

He studied Music Performance and Production at the University of Winchester, where he honed his skills in everything from jazz ensemble accompaniment to film scoring. His love for collaborative and creatively-charged projects shines through in every rehearsal and performance.

Never one to stick strictly to the script, Alfie brings a distinctive, expressive style to his playing—adding colour, rhythm, and a whole lot of character. He’s also a talented songwriter, regularly performing his original works with authenticity and soul.

In addition to his work with Encore, Alfie is the pianist for the University of Winchester’s Show Choir, where his musicality continues to elevate every performance. Whether he’s underscoring a soaring ballad or locking into a pop groove, Alfie’s passion for music—and for making it fun—is always centre stage.
