Michael

Michael Alexander just finished his second year at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. After his brief hiatus from Strikepoint, Michael returns this summer as a substitute for Cynthia Coffin, who is spending the summer enjoying her new son, Sam! Michael has been playing handbells for 12 years, joining Strikepoint for seven of them. Outside of ringing, Michael plays the French horn professionally in both small and large ensembles. He is a member of the Meliora and Superior Brass Quintets, as well as a member of the Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra and Lake Superior Chamber Orchestra. Outside of music Michael is an avid fan of the Minnesota Twins, Rochester Red Wings and the Duluth Huskies. He also enjoys looking back on a sepia tinged childhood filled with (ironically) handbells and the fantastical ravings of his
harebrained older sister.
