Countertenor Alex Ritter is an in-demand chamber singer, chorister, and choral soloist. His love of ensemble singing began as a member of the Australian Boys Choir, and then only grew following his time in The Vocal Consort and the National Youth Choir of Australia. He now maintains a busy performing schedule as a member of some of Melbourne’s premier vocal ensembles, The Consort of Melbourne, Alta Collective, Fiore, and Polyphonic Voices, and is a choral scholar at St John’s Anglican Church Camberwell. As a soloist, Alex has featured in works such as Handel’s Messiah and Bach’s St John Passion. Although choral music is his first love, Alex enjoys stretching his musical horizons, performing with his award-winning a cappella jazz quintet Burgundy Blue and indie rock-funk quartet Tracksuit Larry. Outside of his musical pursuits, Alex is undertaking a PhD in dark matter particle physics at the University of Melbourne.
