Adjudicator

“Alex gave feedback which was detailed, thoughtful, affirming and yet challenging. The students felt lucky to have received wisdom in such an enabling way.”

Suzie Collier (Junior Royal Academy of Music)

Alex is often asked to adjudicate for competitions and festivals. He is known for his ability always to provide constructive criticism which includes giving performers fresh ideas on how to develop their interpretation. Recent adjudication engagements include chairing the panel for the Sir Ian Stoutzker prize and the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama,  the last 2 years for the violin prize at the Junior Royal Academy of Music, the Leamington Festival and music competitions at Radley, Foremarke and Repton, Stockport Grammar School and Bishop’s Veysey School in Birmingham.
