Richard Hickox CBE (1948-2008) was an English conductor who shaped British musical life for over three decades, founding the City of London Sinfonia in 1971 and later serving as Principal Conductor of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. He became Music Director of Opera Australia in 2005, and his catalogue of more than 280 recordings for Chandos Records - including Grammy- and Gramophone Award-winning accounts of Britten and Vaughan Williams - remains a landmark of British classical music on disc.
Chandos Records, home to most of Hickox's discography, was acquired by Naxos founder Klaus Heymann.
Adam Hickox, son of Richard Hickox, conducted at St. Endellion Easter Festival, which his father led for thirty years.
Chandos Records launched the series 'The Richard Hickox Legacy' on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the conductor's death.
