Alex Sopp
New York-based flutist Alex Sopp performs all different genres of music and was recently called "outstanding" and "an admired new music mainstay" by Time Out New York. Alex has commissioned, premiered, and recorded with some of the most exciting composers and songwriters of our time, including Björk, Nico Muhly, Sufjan Stevens, Philip Glass, Judd Greenstein, The National, and makes professional appearances with The New York Philharmonic.
Alex is a member of NOW Ensemble, The Knights, the American Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME), AXIOM, and has performed with the Mark Morris Dance Group Music Ensemble and Continuum.
In the not-so-distant future Alex will make her solo recording debut with an album on the newly-minted New Amsterdam label. The New Amsterdam mission "to provide a haven for the young New York composers and performers whose music slips through the cracks between genres...music without walls, from a scene without a name" is something Alex believes in deeply.
A regular performer both in the US and abroad, she has performed at the Bang On A Can Marathon, Melbourne International Arts Festival, Look and Listen Festival, MATA Festival, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, Spoleto Festival dei Due Mondi, Festival WhyNote Dijon, Carlsbad Music Festival, and the Bowdoin Festival.
A native of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, Alex completed both her Bachelors and Masters degrees at The Juilliard School, where she was a founding member of the student led contemporary music group AXIOM.
