                                            Alex Henery

                                            Since 1998 Alex Henery has played principal double bass with the Sydney Symphony. He has performed regularly as a soloist in various music festivals, including performances of Bottesini’s Double Concerto Passione Amorosa, and Bottesini’s Concerto No.2 with the Sydney Symphony.

                                            Henery moved to Australia from the UK and studied the bass at the Sydney Conservatorium from 1985-86 before moving to New York and later Boston to continue his studies. In 1989, he returned to the UK, where he began his professional career, working initially with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

                                            He played co-principal bass in the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in 1990 and in 1992 took up the co-principal position with London’s Philharmonia Orchestra. During his time in London, he was also a regular guest principal with the London Symphony, Royal Philharmonic and many of London’s chamber orchestras.
