Peter Alexander

Composer, pianist, and singer Peter Alexander brings decades of experience to his spiritual practice and music. Having grown up among the redwoods of Northern California, his every breath is filled with a great reverence for the earth and all of its natural wonders. A lover of yoga and the ancient Sanskrit texts which reveal and inform it, he applies his musical talents to the understanding and experience of them. Peter believes that the potential for sound to penetrate and transform us is unlimited. This is why we sing!

Peter Alexander is a composer, lyricist and kirtan wallah with an extensive musical background ranging from classical choral singing to musical theatre composition. As much as he loves to lead kirtan meditation, he is equally happy adding a live musical soundscape to a yoga class or playing musical theatre standards for a senior community. Singing is always a form of prayer.

Agni Fire of Creation is Peter’s latest CD, co-produced and arranged with Greg Barnett. It is a collection of invocations, mantras and intricate musical soundscapes designed to lead the listening from inner tranquility to heart-wide-open joy and back again while always bowing to the Divine which underlies everything.

Peter and Greg together lead any group of kirtan enthusiasts through a rich devotional journey with intricate layers of sound at times meditative, sometimes ecstatic and always joyful. Come sing with us!
