Ellis Fox - Guitar

An emerging talent in Britain, Ellis Fox has performed both in the UK and internationally. He has studied with institutions such as Cardiff University, the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and the Los Angeles Guitar Academy. Known for his eclectic performances which span the eras of guitar music from the Renaissance to the present day, Fox has developed a repertoire as inclusive as it is versatile.

Working as both a guitarist and a writer, he has had his texts set to various contemporary works from emerging composers and his arranging work has seen him adapt music from Sweden, the US, Ukraine, Ireland, and Palestine. His first album The Yuma Ferry was released in 2020 and featured his own original compositions, arrangements of music from his adolescence, and fixtures from the classical guitar reptoire. His sophmore album Of A Low Sky is set to be released in November, and takes a radically different direction from his previous work. Drawing from the minimlist traditions of Philip Glass and Arvo Pärt and the ambient spectralist work of Bass Communion, John Luther Adams and Tangerine Dream, Of A Low Sky is foregrounded by the emotional experiences of sadness, despair, anxiety, and hope.
