Christopher Fox

Christopher Fox is a composer who sometimes writes about music too. Often working at a tangent to the musical mainstream he has based his compositional career around close collaborations with particular performers, such as the soprano Elizabeth Hilliard, clarinettist Heather Roche, pianist John Snijders and the ensembles Apartment House and EXAUDI. Fox’s work is the subject of the book Perspectives on the music of Christopher Fox: Straight lines in broken times (Ashgate-Routledge, 2016). CDs of his music are available on the Ergodos, Hat Hut, Metier and NMC labels. He is editor of the quarterly new music journal TEMPO, published by Cambridge University Press, and Professor of Music at Brunel University London.
