William talks to Dan Floyd about his new CD on Naxos 'Cecilia McDowall works for Organ'



"William Fox is fast gaining a reputation as one of the rising stars of his generation. Since July 2018, he has been the sub organist of St Paul’s Cathedral, London: a post to which he was appointed at the age of 21. Fox works with the world-famous choir of St Paul’s, accompanying and directing the music at services, including services of national significance. He also works as part of the ambitious music outreach programme at the Cathedral and gives recitals throughout the UK and abroad. Since September 2019, William has additionally been a junior fellow at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

Fox’s musical education began as a chorister at York Minster, before organ scholarships at Wells and Hereford Cathedrals. Prior to his appointment at St Paul’s, he was organ scholar and an academic scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford, from where he graduated with a first class degree in Music. Fox became a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists as a teenager, winning the Turpin and Durrant prize for playing.

As an organist and continuo-player, he has appeared on BBC radio, BBC television, and Classic FM. As an accompanist, he has played through much of Europe and in the US. As a piano accompanist, he is the winner of the 2018 Sir Anthony Lewis Memorial Prize Competition."
