Recent press: "The Pacific Chorale is a terrific group. John Alexander, for 36 years its leader, has turned it into a luxury model – super polished, richly blended, smooth riding. One hardly notices the road when enveloped by its sound. The sound is just there, seemingly exactly as it should be." [read more]"[Alexander] conducted with an incisive hand throughout, pacing with assurance and digging into [the work's] meat. The chorale sang magnificently, richly voiced, polished and secure..." [read more] "The erudite, adventurous conductor John Alexander, who crushed Bach against Ligeti..., showed the composers to be, at least for the moment, soul mates.... The singers displayed admirable focus and concentration. They held and sustained the unresolved harmonic tension without drifting toward the comforts of home."— Peter Lefevre, Orange County Register [read more] "...longtime artistic director John Alexander displayed the chorale’s stunning range, its command of colors and dynamics, its textual sensitivity, its vocal power and the potency of its quiet singing.... With the sterling and immaculate collaboration of the Pacific Symphony, the total performance was a model of stylishness." — Daniel Cariaga, Los Angeles Times
