- Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FL (1888PressRelease) September 25, 2012 - Rachel A. Cox, Violinist for Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra, has been selected as a VIP Member of the Covington Who's Who Executive and Professional Registry. The selection recognizes Rachel A. Cox's commitment to excellence in Music and Non-Profit.
Cox, who holds a Bachelor's Degree of Music from New England Conservatory, and an MBA from Impac University, began playing the violin at the ripe age of two-and-a-half. By the time she was six she was learning the viola, and started learning the piano a year later.
As a professional musician with the Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra, Cox does solo, chamber music, and orchestral engagements. She has performed at Carnegie Hall under the baton of Michael Tilson Thomas, has done broadcasts on WGBH-FM's 'Off The Record', was a guest artist at the 2006 Ohio Federation of Music convention, for the New York Viola Society, and at two PBS nationwide broadcasts as a member of the Naples Philharmonic under the direction of Erich Kunzel.
Hoping to never retire, Cox said, "I often lose myself in the past, which from my perspective is a magical place to be."
Cox is a member of PBS Nationwide, Carnegie Hall, New York Viola Society, and the Historical Regional Orchestra Players Association. She is a charter member of several orchestras founded in Southwest Florida, including the Naples Bach Ensemble, Opera Naples, and the Fifth Avenue Chamber Orchestra. She started a music scholarship at Florida Gulf Coast University which ultimately led to the formation of the Bower School of Music. She has authored six books on Ohio and US History and her first novel, 'A New Era: A History of the Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra'. She is also the author of Ecce Cecilia, a poem set to music for chorus and orchestra by Paul Richards in honor of the Southwest Florida Symphony Orchestra's fiftieth anniversary. In April of this year, Cox also published 'Redemption', a one-act play that explores how a crime traumatizes both the victim and the perpetrator.
