Alexander Hopkins - Baritone

Alexander started his singing career as a chorister at Westminster Cathedral from 2007, being made head chorister in 2011 and singing on tours, recordings, broadcasts, and televised services. He attended Ampleforth College until 2017, when he started a music degree at the University of Manchester. Having graduated, he worked as a lay clerk at St John’s College Choir Cambridge for two years, after which he moved back to London to embark on a freelance career as a choral singer and soloist. Alexander has since sung for world renowned choirs such as Tenebrae and Westminster Abbey Choir, performing in high profile events including the coronation of King Charles III.

As a soloist, he has performed on recorded projects for Westminster Cathedral Choir and St John’s College Choir, along with step out solos at venues such as the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, and more recently Greyfriars Kirk and The Duke’s Hall in a performance of Purcell’s ‘Hail! Bright Cecelia’ with members of the Dunedin Consort conducted by John Butt. He has also sung roles in Opera, such as La Traviata, La Bohème, L’elisir d’amore, and in 2022, Count Almaviva in The Marriage of Figaro.

In 2020, he co-founded Coro Spezzato, a choir with aims to promote new composers and give a platform to young professional singers. Alexander is also a composer, having had multiple choral works broadcast on BBC Radio 3, along with music commissioned, performed, and recorded by St John’s College Choir.

Since September 2024, Alexander has been studying for a Masters in vocal performance at the Royal Academy of Music, where he won First Prize in the 2025 Schumann Lieder Competition.
