Alex Potter is a British countertenor specialising in 17th- and 18th-century music. He trained as a chorister at Southwark Cathedral, read Music at New College, Oxford, and later studied baroque performance practice at the Schola Cantorum in Basel. A regular collaborator with conductors such as Philippe Herreweghe, Lars Ulrik Mortensen and Jordi Savall, he is equally committed to unearthing lesser-known repertoire alongside the Bach and Handel works for which he is best known.
Potter participated in the recording of Handel's Dixit Dominus, Laudate pueri and Nisi Dominus, released in 2024.
The album Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben with Bach cantatas (BWV 6, 99 and 147) was released in 2024.
Potter participated in the recording of Handel's Messiah and Bach's St. John Passion, both released in 2023.
Potter joined the vocal roster of Interartists Amsterdam, which expanded his international booking network.
Potter is listed on the program for a concert at Thomaskirche in Leipzig on June 13, 2026 with Collegium Vocale Gent under Philippe Herreweghe.
