Alex McArthur is a dynamic jazz vocalist who uses her passion for creativity, storytelling, and authentic expression as her musical compass. Residing in Buffalo, NY, she pursues the art of musical storytelling with an array of composers, musicians, and organizations.

Alex’s appreciation for many different genres of music, including classical and instrumental jazz/improvisation, began at a very young age. Her desire to vocally portray stories of many backgrounds led her to study musical theatre, classical voice, and jazz at University at Buffalo, all while establishing herself onstage in Buffalo’s artistic community. 

When not performing under her own name at a variety of venues in the Buffalo area, Alex keeps busy writing her own music and working alongside musicians and friends on various projects – she is often invited as a guest for a variety of performances and events. Still fostering a love for many art forms, Alex stays active performing and giving workshops within the music, theatre, and choral communities in the greater Niagara region, including Vocalis Chamber Choir, Nathaniel Dett Chorale, Musicalfare Theatre, Starring Buffalo, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra Education Program, and Community Music School of Buffalo.

This is Alex’s second year working with the BPO’s Education program as a concert host. Special thanks to Robin, Rachael, and Fernanda of the Education team for inviting her to be a part of this impactful work.
