Colin Alexander is a cellist and composer working across a range of disciplines and traditions. Whilst collaborating with artists such as Kit Downes, Héloïse Werner, Abel Selaocoe, Max Baillie and Alice Zawadzki, Colin also performs regularly with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, LSO Ensemble for composers, 12 Ensemble and a variety of world-music and improvisation groups.

 

Alongside his performing schedule, he has written new works for the London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Contemporary Orchestra, Contrechamps, The Mercury Quartet, Hyper Duo,

Le Nouvel Ensemble Contemporain and Bush Theatre, London.

He features on a variety of recordings on Delphian Records, Nonclassical, Accidental Records and October House Records.

 

Recent projects have included a new electro-acoustic commission for flamenco dancer, live cello and electronics for Resolution Festival 2025, a world premiere at London’s Wigmore Hall and a series of performances of his own solo cello suites - works described by Fiona Maddocks in The Observer as “quixotic and otherworldly, and strongly recommended”.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
