Steven Fox is an American conductor of classical music. Currently Steven Fox is the Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of New York’s Clarion Music Society,[1] Acting Director of Music at Trinity Church, Wall Street,[2] and Music Director of Musica Antiqua St. Petersburg[3] in Russia.
Biography
Fox began studying music at the Horace Mann School under pianist John Contiguglia and conductor and composer Johannes Somary. He went on to study Music and Russian at Dartmouth College, graduating as a Senior Fellow with High Honors, and continued his studies at the Royal Academy of Music, London, where he received an MMus degree with Distinction along with three of the institution's awards: the Sir Thomas Armstrong Prize, the Peter Le Huray Award and the Alan Kirby Prize.
Career
Shortly after his graduation from RAM, Fox traveled to Russia and founded the country's first period-instrument orchestra, Musica Antiqua St. Petersburg. With Musica Antiqua, he revived a lost repertoire of Russian 18th-century music from the court of Catherine the Great. The list of works he has premiered from this period includes the earliest symphony by a Russian composer—Sinfonia in C by Maksim Berezovsky (c. 1770), which he has conducted in London, St. Petersburg and New York – and Dmitri Bortniansky's final opera, Le fils rival, which he conducted in the Hermitage Theater in 2004.
