With a voice reviewed as “arresting, haunting, expressive, clear-toned, and sweet,” soprano Phoebe Jevtovic Alexander performs chamber music, early opera, and experimental music in the United States and abroad. She has appeared as a soloist with the Waverly Consort, American Bach Soloists, Musica Angelica, Magnificat, and North Holland Opera.

       

Phoebe is the featured soloist of the baroque ensemble La Monica, with whom she has appeared in international concert series such as New York’s Music Before 1800, Pittsburgh’s Renaissance and Baroque Society, Houston Early Music, and San Francisco Early Music Society. Also with La Monica, she has given acclaimed performances at the Amherst, Berkeley, and Boston Early Music Festivals.

      

The essence of Phoebe’s performing style is an acute sensitivity to text and character. Audiences continually note that they enjoy her sound, but that they are more moved by her authentic sharing of human passion. Roles performed include Despina in Mozart’s Così fan tutte, Amphitrite in Locke’s Tempest, Cupid in Purcell’s Timon of Athens, and the title role in Rossi’s Orfeo.

Among Phoebe’s other projects are an art song collaboration with celebrated pianist Robert Thies; touring the US and Indonesia with Gamelan X, (Balinese-inspired hybrid world music ensemble); and singing in Kitka, a Balkan women’s vocal ensemble. She has also recorded a wide range of repertoire for Nonesuch, Wave, and Gothic Records.

Phoebe completed her Master of Arts degree in Early Music Performance at the University of Southern California, and has edited a book of solo songs by Tarquinio Merula that is due to be published by A&R Editions.
