ABOUT THE PERFORMERS

Angelique Alexander is a versatile singer of both opera and jazz. She pursued a musical education in classical voice where her uniquely dark and warm mezzo-soprano voice made her stand out from her peers. She has continued to use her ability in text painting with her vocal artistry as well as her expressive appearance when singing the varying styles of classical music and jazz.  

During the pandemic, Angelique began an outdoor solo concert series in the Morcom Oakland Rose Garden. These concerts have expanded to a wide audience of Bay Area locals, and due to their live streams, have reached as far as Europe in viewership. She has completed 3 seasons in the Rose Garden with plans to continue the concert series for a fourth season in the summer of 2023. Angelique is a highly sought out singer and has been featured at several Bay Area venues, such as The Battery club (SF), SF Salons, and The Alley (Oakland). She has also been a featured singer in the Clayton Piano Festival from the 2021-2023 seasons.
