Steven Fox

Conductor Steven Fox has -- unusually for an American -- specialized in Russian choral music. He is the director of prominent ensembles in New York and Washington, D.C. Fox was born on June 13, 1978, in New York. He attended the Horace Mann School in the Bronx, where he studied piano and conducting. At Dartmouth College, Fox pursued a double major in music and Russian, earning a degree with high honors. After graduating, he traveled to Russia and founded the Musica Antiqua St. Petersburg, one of the country's first historical instrument orchestras. With that group, he unearthed and performed music from the court of Catherine the Great. He conducted Dmitri Bortnyanski's rarely performed final opera, Le fils rival, at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. Fox went on to the Royal Academy of Music in London for a master's degree, earning several of the institution's awards. In 2006, Fox was named artistic director of the Clarion Choir and Clarion Orchestra, which together make up the Clarion Music Society. The Society dates back to the 1950s, but Fox was just the group's third conductor. He remained in that position as of the early 2020s and has led performances at major New York venues, including the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Carnegie Hall. With the Clarion Choir, he has continued to delve into Russian music and has recorded several works from Russian repertory, beginning with Maximilian Steinberg's Passion Week in 2016 for the Naxos label. The Clarion Choir under Fox has been one of the few American groups to specialize in Russian church music. He has guest conducted other choirs, including the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston, as well as symphonic groups, including the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra in San Francisco, and the Quebec Symphony Orchestra. Fox has led choirs for various groups, including The English Concert, the Orchestra of St. Luke's, and The Knights chamber orchestra, as well as for Madonna at the 2018 Metropolitan Opera Gala. He served for five years, from 2008 to 2013, as associate conductor of the New York City Opera, and in 2020, he was chorus master for the premiere recording of Dame Ethyl Smyth's vocal symphony The Prison. That recording earned a Grammy Award, and Fox's recordings with the Clarion Choir of the Steinberg Passion Week and of music by Alexander Kastalsky earned Grammy nominations as well. In 2023, Fox and the Clarion Choir moved to the PentaTone label, releasing a recording of Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil.
