Alexander Van Goethem (Bass)

Born: Sint-Niklaas, Belgium

The Belgian bass, Alexander Van Goethem, began his singing career as a boy in the Flanders Boys Choir. In 2024, he obtained his Master's degree in singing from the Koninklijk Conservatorium van Antwerpen. He was part of the MM Academy van De Munt for two years. During his studies, he was a soloist in oratorio projects featuring music by composers such as J.S.
