Alex Chen is a collaborative pianist, baritone, and vocal coach whose curiosity brings fresh perspectives on a diverse body of musical works. In the words of his mentor John Hess, he is "an immensely musical and sensitive player" with "a deeply inquisitive mind."

Alex performs regularly both as a singer and collaborative pianist in the Victoria music community, exploring genres such as art song, opera, and choral music. Moreover, as a faculty member at the Victoria Conservatory of Music he supports a wide variety of students and young professional singers from the piano. He currently studies with soprano Nancy Argenta.

Professional highlights include presenting a distinguished recital titled Demons & Dichterliebe to explore themes of the supernatural and love; performing in Pacific Opera Victoria's mainstage productions as a member of the POV Chorus; and dynamically collaborating with singers in the Victoria Conservatory of Music's song competitions. As a researcher, Alex held a Joseph-Armand Bombardier Scholarship during his MMus to fund his work in dynamic art song programming.

In a past life, Alex handled birds of prey for educational programs and contemplated the physiological factors affecting birdsong during a BSc in  Zoology. To keep in touch with his background in biology, he loves spending time outdoors and spotting local flora and fauna.
