He is currently in his first year studying violin performance at the Manhattan School of Music with Isaac Malkin, and is also in his fourth year as a student of Andrew Kim and Daniel Jaggers at the New York Youth Symphony Robert L. Poster Apprentice Conductors Program. Having an interest in conducting since age 3, Alex's formal conducting studies began at age 15 when he was asked to conduct John Corigliano's Voyage for String Orchestra with his Youth Orchestra at the School for Strings.
At the New York Youth Symphony Conducting Program, Alex has had the chance to conduct excerpts from the standard orchestral repertoire, such as Sibelius Symphony No. 2, Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique, Strauss Tod und Verklärung, Brahms Symphony No. 4, Prokofiev Symphony No. 5, Dvořák Symphony No. 7, and Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances.
Alex currently serves as the assistant conductor to Michelle Bushkova at the Weill Cornell Music and Medicine Orchestra in New York.
In February 2026, Alex programmed his own conducting recital, gathering a full orchestra, organized the orchestra parts, and presented the concert, with two days of rehearsals and a concert day. The program included Beethoven Coriolan Overture, and Dvořák Symphony No. 8.
Under the mentorship of Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Alex has had multiple private lessons with Yannick, working on both opera and symphonic excerpts. During the summer of 2026, Alex attended the Domaine Forget de Charlevoix festival, studying conducting with Kensho Watanabe and Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
