Performers
A student of Jane Randolph, Alexandra completed her Master’s Degree in Voice Performance at San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 2017. Most recently, she has been heard as a soloist in Milhaud’s L’Homme et son Désir at Mills College under the baton of Nicole Paiement and in the Kristin Pankonin Art Song Showcase of 2020 singing songs by Jake Heggie.
Acclaimed by opera and concertgoers worldwide, Lester Lynch is regarded not only as a true Verdi baritone, but also as one of today’s foremost interpreters of American spirituals and contemporary opera.
Pianist Kevin Korth is an acclaimed recitalist and coach who has collaborated with leading artists including Frederica von Stade, Isabel Leonard, Jake Heggie, and Nadine Sierra. Praised by Gramophone for his “superb” playing and expressive color, Korth released Out of the Shadows, a celebrated American art song recording with soprano Lisa Delan and cellist Matt Haimovitz.
