Alex Whittington

Alex is thrilled to be starting their first year of their Choral Conducting MM here at Yale, where they also received their MA in Music History after graduating from Yale College. Their primary area of study is Puerto Rican choral music, focusing on reconstructions of works by Felipe Gutiérrez y Espinosa. Alex has served as a Teaching Artist with the YSM’s Music in Schools Initiative and has performed with ensembles such as the Yale Baroque Opera Project and the Yale Collegium Musicum. Outside of academics, Alex spends their time baking, cycling, and dancing salsa, reggaeton, and—though less frequently these days—ballet.
