The 21/22 season sees his evening recital debut at Wigmore Hall and debuts with Münchner Symphoniker (under Joseph Bastian) and Hong Kong Sinfonietta (under Ola Rudner), both with Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3. He returns to the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra (Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 under Dennis Russell Davies) and Klavierfestival Ruhr, and performs a recital at Hong Kong’s Premiere Performances.

In Spring 2019, Alexander’s first album on Rubicon, featuring Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite, Prokofiev’s Six Pieces from Cinderella, as well as Stravinsky’s Petrushka and Firebird suites, received rave reviews. In Spring 2022 the label will release a second album, featuring Piano Concerto Nos. 1 and 2 by Franz Liszt with the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Andrew Litton, coupled with his Piano Sonata in b minor.

The winner of the 2017 International Franz Liszt Piano Competition in Utrecht, Alexander has appeared with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, Norwegian Radio Orchestra, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Budapest Radio Orchestra and Korean Symphony Orchestra, as well as the New Jersey, Fort Worth and Montreal symphonies, working with conductors such as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Giancarlo Guerrero, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Valentin Uryupin and Cristian Măcelaru.
