Weaving timeless operatic arias amid soaring rock melodies, with a
powerhouse rock rhythm section, with strings, woodwinds, brass
and backing vocals, Alexander’s music leaves you exhilarated and
breathless. His self-titled debut CD, released in 2014 (SONY/Red),
is the culmination of an incredible career, both as one of the most
distinctive operatic tenor voices on the international music scene,
and as a powerful and searing rock voice in the grand tradition of
Steve Perry and Freddie Mercury.
Alexander is a full scholarship graduate of the Mannes School of Music in New York City (B.M.),
and Northwestern University (M.M.). As a lyric tenor, Alexander has performed internationally,
with appearances at Avery Fisher Hall, The Berlin Philharmonic and has perform alongside Tony
Award winning actress Elizabeth Ashley in the Columbia Artists/Broadway tour of “Master Class”
by Terrence McNally. Classically trained in Opera, Alexander has studied with a Who’s Who of vocal masters, from Arrigo Pola (the late Luciano Pavarotti’s voice teacher, Modena, Italy),
Gianni Raimondi (La Scala, Italy), as well as Dan Marek, John Wustman and Nico Castel
(Metropolitan Opera).
As a solo artist, full concert performance or as a featured artist with a Symphony or Opera,
Alexander Kariotis and The Rock Orchestra is a package of energy, artistry and entertainment.
Combining his Master Series Classes with Performing Arts Centers and Theaters, Alex brings the
classical arts to a new level and to a new generation.
