Alex serves the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America as chair of the Arrangements & Transcriptions Subcommittee of Music Publications and as a juror for the Johan Franco Composition Committee. Alex has performed across North America, Europe, and Australia, and he is an avid composer, improviser, and supporter of new music.\n\nPreviously, Alex taught high school math in Austin, Texas, where he played and taught the carillon informally at the University of Texas. Alex graduated summa cum laude from the Royal Carillon School \u2018Jef Denyn\u2019 in Belgium, and before that he studied in residency as the Carillon Fellow at Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Florida.
