Alex is a dedicated musician who performs professionally on both the viola and the harp. Currently 18 years old and pursuing a flexible double degree in music and advanced science (majoring in physics) at the Australian National University, he balances rigorous academic study with an active performing career.

As a rank-and-file violist in the Canberra Symphony Orchestra, Alex has played under the baton of Jessica Cottis and Chris Lathem and has also played in various chamber ensembles for weddings and funerals. He has participated in numerous Australian Youth Orchestra programs and has performed solo at the Hungarian and Croatian embassies. In 2023, he joined Aperion Baroque in the "Too Many Strings" viola quartet program.

His excellence in music has been recognized with multiple awards, including the 2024 Musica Viva Strike a Chord Australian Prize (string trio), the CGS IBDP Prize for Music, and the CGS Barbara Fleming Prize for Musical Excellence (Senior). He also won the CGS Concerto Competition, playing a concerto with the CGS Orchestra.

Alex studies viola under Marianne Yeomans (A violist in the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra), with occasional lessons with Tor Frømyhr, Stephen King, and Kirsten Williams, and studies harp under Alice Giles, continuing to refine his artistry and expand his musical reach.
