Adam Hickox

Conductor

  • British conductor Adam Hickox (born in 1996) has been described by the Boston Musical Intelligencer as a “consummate, well-mannered musician of skill”.  He brings to the podium an impressive and elegant fluidity of technique and mature interpretations of a wide range of repertoire which is fast building him a reputation both on the concert stage and in the opera house.  He is conducting widely across Europe and looks forward to many important debuts in the coming seasons.

In Hickox, we enjoyed a consummate, well-mannered musician of skill; all was elegantly rounded in both physical and musical contour.

Adam Hickox's idiomatic pacing and phrasing of the Humperdinck score made for a very assured piece of conducting...in a show that left a beneficient afterglow.
