Nancy
Fox was impeccably schooled in the classical tradition at the mozarteum
Academy of Music in Salzburg, Austria (Lieder & Opera), West Virginia
University School of music (BM in Voice), University of Michigan
(MM in Voice), and the Juilliard School in NYC (Doctoral Work).
Fox posseses a pure
soprano with easy range and agility and is able to adapt her golden
sound to the style of music at hand. With an even spin and easy
top, her voice shines in Mozart and Puccini alike, and to the oratorio
repertoire, Mendelssohn and Handel fit perfectly.
Her career has collected
a long list of stellar reviews from oratorio, opera and concert
performances. Her voice has exemplified a steady development of
a natural born ability toward a broader scope of musical styles.
In the reviews of Porter, Gershwin, and Jerome Kern, she is set
free to entertain and use her copious vocal gifts to perfection.
Concertizing in a sacred setting. her instinctive musicality shines
as she reveals her roots in that tradition. At times, she has a
gospel approach to pieces in that style.
Fox can be heard extensively
on the Music Minus One label in thirteen different musical theatre
roles, including Christine in "Phantom of the Opera."
She has performed throughout the USA and has appeared as a guest
of the UN and the Peoples Republic of China in Shanghai and Beijing.
The Pittsburgh Symphony, The Detroit Symphony, and the New Jersey
Pops have featured Ms. Fox as a guest soloist.
Current vehicles for
Fox are "You're the Top," a three person Cole Porter revue with
a long and illustrious history of performances to full houses and
rave reviews; "A Bouquet of Songs," her extremely popular solo concert
program in which the audience chooses the program from over seventy-five
pieces in a variety of style; and "Two and a Half Sopranos" (two
sopranos and a mezzo soprano - the half), a gently comical musical
revue with three divas of equal acclaim who sing gorgeously.
All of Fox's programs
have orchestral arrangements available or can be performed with
one or two pianos.
