Richard Cox will join the San Francisco Conservatory of Music’s Voice department in 2025. Cox will be a Professor of Voice and Executive Chair of the Voice program. In a statement, Cox said, “I am looking forward to joining the distinguished faculty of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
Through the recently expanded multi-genre voice curriculum, SFCM has solidified its investment in cross-training the emerging 21st-century vocal artist.” “Richard Cox is a consummate artist and pedagogue. He brings with him many successful years in the opera business and on the world’s most important stages, as well as many years of teaching experience.
His energy and passion is inspiring and I look forward to him being part of our SFCM community,” added Voice Department Chair Catherine Cook. Cox is managed by Opus 3 Artists, an alliance partner of SFCM.

Both organizations have deep and long-standing relationships with the Conservatory. Throughout his career, Cox has appeared at the Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Los Angeles Opera, and Washington National Opera. He also serves on the voice faculty of the Metropolitan Opera Lindemann Young Artist Development Program and the San Francisco Opera Center Adler Fellowship Program.
