Just Flutes Presents… Just Flutes Festival 2025, Lessons with Michael Cox - Friday

Friday 15 August 2025

Fully Booked

We are delighted that Michael Cox is giving private lessons as part of the Just Flutes Festival this August.

Michael Cox is one of Britain’s foremost flute-players. He spent his childhood in Africa, studying music at the Zimbabwe College of Music and then the Royal College of Music in London. Early competitive successes led directly to a solo career that has included concerts and recordings on all continents and performances with major orchestras and conductors.

As a chamber musician he has performed with British quartets, quintets and ensembles (and worked alongside musicians of the ilk of James Galway and Murray Perahia) as well as being a member, of the Haffner and Albion wind ensembles, London Symphony Chamber Players and London Sinfonietta.

An interest in a wider repertoire led to a concurrent orchestral career, first as co-principal with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and then as principal flute of the London Symphony Orchestra, London Mozart Players and Britten Sinfonia. He now holds what he considers an ideal portfolio of tenures combining the principal flute chairs of a symphony orchestra, chamber orchestra and a contemporary music ensemble – the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Academy of St Martin’s in the Fields and the London Sinfonietta. Through this work he has worked with some of the world’s greatest conductors, soloists and composers such as Messiaen, Takemitsu, Dutilleux, Berio, Boulez, Tippett, Birtwistle, Stockhausen, Henze, Adams, Carter, Penderecki and LutosÅ‚awski.

A passionate and highly dedicated teacher Michael Cox is professor of flute at the Royal Academy of Music in London and is sought after as a visiting consultant by students worldwide.

Michael is an Altus Artist, playing an Altus ALII Flute.

Michael’s appearance at the Just Flutes Festival 2025 is generously supported by Altus Flutes.
