A native of Louisville, KY, Alexander Kapp has established himself as a versatile performer and pedagogue. Now in his second year as Instructor of Voice at Wright State University, Alexander teaches applied voice, German and French diction, vocal pedagogy, and vocal literature courses. He is currently in the final stages of completing his dissertation for his Doctor of Music degree in Voice with a minor in History and Literature from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, where his dissertation focus is on the underperformed art songs of Jean Cras. He also holds an M.M. degree in Voice from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and B.M. degrees in both Voice Performance and Vocal Music Education from the University of Louisville.

As a performer, Alexander remains active in the area as a soloist for both concert and operatic productions. He most recently performed the role of Roy Bryant in a revived production of the opera Emmet Till, by Charles Lloyd Jr. with Opera Southern. He will also be joining the Butler Philharmonic Orchestra as the bass soloist for their performances of Haydn's Mass No. 10, Missa in tempore belli. Other recent professional engagements include performances as the baritone soloist in Dvořák’s Te Deum with the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra in collaboration with the Western Colorado Chorale and debuting with Virginia Opera as Fiorello and the Officer in their production of The Barber of Seville. Some of Alexander's favorite past roles include Mercutio (Roméo et Juliette), Thomas (Jennifer Higdon’s Cold Mountain), Dr. Pangloss and Martin (Candide), Ottone (L’incoronazione di Poppea), Ford (Falstaff), Dottore Malatesta (Don Pasquale), Top (The Tender Land), Le Podestat (Le Docteur Miracle), and Bartley (Riders to the Sea), among others. Equally comfortable on the competition stage, he has been a noted finalist or an award winner in several prominent competitions in the United States. Some of these include the Annapolis Opera Vocal Competition (2024), the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra Competition (2023), the Opera Index Vocal Competition (2022), the Opera Grand Rapids Vocal Competition (2020), and the Metropolitan Opera Eric and Dominique Laffont Competition. Alexander has also been engaged as a young artist with several prominent companies across the United States, including the Virginia Opera, Central City Opera, and the Music Academy of the West.

His principal teachers and coaches have included Jane Dutton, Allan Armstrong, Kevin Murphy, Tom Baresel, William McGraw, and Chad Sloan. He has also studied voice and language privately with David Adams, author of A Handbook of Diction for Singers, which is used as a diction and language resource in conservatory and university courses across the United States.
