Phoebe Jevtovic, soprano

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. 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 varied collaborations are the baroque ensemble La Monica; medieval ensemble Cançionèr; art song with celebrated pianist Robert Thies; and early music and dance with Italy's visionary Art Monastery Project. She has also toured the US and Indonesia with Gamelan X (Balinese-inspired hybrid world music ensemble); and sung traditional Balkan folk music with Kitka. Phoebe has recorded for Dorian, Nonesuch, and Sony Records, and was interviewed in the November 2009 issue of Classical Singer Magazine.

Phoebe completed her Master of Arts degree in Early Music Performance at the University of Southern California, and has edited a book of 17th century solo songs by Tarquinio Merula that is due to be published by A&R Editions.
