The Richard Hickox Foundation- Building on the legacy

The premature death of Richard Hickox on 23 November, 2008, at the age of just 60, deprived the musical world of one of its greatest conductors. The depth and breadth of his musical achievements were astonishing, not least in his remarkable work on behalf of British composers. His recorded legacy – over 280 recordings with Chandos alone – will ensure that his art will never be forgotten. The Richard Hickox Foundation, by supporting those causes about which Richard felt passionately, will sustain those interests into the future. The Foundation aims to enhance what is already a remarkable legacy.
