art—soloist, accompanist for singers and instrumentalists, chamber
musician, repetiteur and orchestral pianist. He has performed throughout
Australia, and recorded for ABC Classic FM and for MBS radio in several
states. He has also appeared as soloist and chamber musician in the UK.
In Adelaide, Alexander has collaborated in concert with artists such as Thomas Edmonds, Elizabeth Campbell and Nicholas Milton, and was a repetiteur for Wagner’s Ring cycle in 2004.

His two piano arrangement of Carl Vine’s piano concerto was published by Faber Music.
Alexander graduated with honours from the Flinders Street School of Music, and has participated in masterclasses with Jeremy Menuhin, Roy Howat and Michael Kieran Harvey.
