Composer, singer, improviser, playwright and actor Alex Eddington
recently completed a Master’s degree in composition at the University of
Alberta; his undergraduate training was in his native Toronto.
His works have been commissioned and performed in Canada and

the Silver Birch
String Quartet, the Edmonton
Saxophone Quartet, the Toronto Chamber
Choir, the Da Camera Singers,
Vox Novus, and soprano Kristin Mueller-Heaslip.
In 2004, Alex Eddington received SOCAN award for his monodrama Death
to the Butterfly Dictator! His first orchestral work,
Dance Attack!, was a finalist in the Toronto
Symphony Orchestra’s 2004 “New Creations” young composers’
competition. Mr. Eddington was one of five composers from
across Canada selected to participate in the National
Arts Centre Young Composers’ Programme in the summer of
2006. He is an Associate Composer of the Canadian Music
Centre.
Alex Eddington’s stay in the theatre-rich city of Edmonton has
led him to musical collaboration with local actors and dancers in both casual
improvisation experiments and full theatrical productions.
His collaborative work has been presented by Mile Zero Dance, Nextfest, The Works Art and Design Festival, the InterFEAR festival, and the University of
Alberta Department of Drama. In 2005 Alex Eddington was the
recipient of a SSHRC grant for a
project exploring new intersections of music and theatre/dance.
Mr. Eddington made his debut as an actor and playwright on the 2006
Canadian Fringe circuit with his first original one-man play, WOOL.
A
professional singer, Alex Eddington has appeared with Pro Coro Canada, the Edmonton Opera Company Chorus, and the University of Alberta Madrigal
Singers in performances with Alberta Ballet and the Edmonton Symphony
Orchestra.
