Alexandra Phillips, Soprano, has been lauded for her vocal and theatrical versatility both on the operatic stage as well as in concert. Her repertoire ranges from music of the early baroque to opera and contemporary chamber music. As a featured soloist, Alexandra has had the honor of performing at the White House, the KennedyCenter, Folger Theatre, and at the Piccolo Spoleto, among other venues. She is a native of Vienna, Virginia, and a graduate of the Eastman School of Music. She attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville where she earned a Master’s degree in vocal performance.

Recently Alexandra soloed at the Terrace Theatre of the Kennedy Center with the Congressional Chorus and the Great Noise Ensemble in a concert of "Songs for the New Millenium."

Earlier this year she performed the role of “Thais” in Massenet’s Thais with Amici Opera. She was the soloist in Poulenc’s Gloria with the Orlando Chorale, and sang ‘Mabel’ in Orlando Ballet’s production of Pirates of Penzance. She has performed Joseph Schwantner’s Sparrows with the Contemporary Music Ensemble in Knoxville, about which the Knox News Sentinel hailed, “I can’t imagine anyone singing this gentle, atmospheric piece with its glistening interior spaces more gorgeously than did soprano Alexandra Phillips.” She has been the soprano soloist for Handel’s Messiah, for which her performance was hailed by the Washington Post as “bright and agile, a natural to the music.”

Alexandra has performed the roles of ‘Despina’ in Loudoun Lyric Opera’s inaugural production of Cosi Fan Tutte, ‘Amy March’ in Mark Adamo’s Little Women with Knoxville Opera, ‘Jenny Slade’ in Knoxville Opera’s production of Roman Fever during the 2005 Rossini Festival, ‘Olympia’ in Les Contes d’Hoffmann with Shaker Mountain Opera, ‘Monica’ in Menotti’s The Medium, and ‘Laetitia’ in The Old Maid and the Thief ‘Gretel’ in Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck.
