Ben Hancox is an English violinist most famous for co-founding the Sacconi String Quartet in 2001.
In his late teens he studied with Serguei Fatkouline in Madrid and Bonn, before being accepted into the Royal College of Music.
At the RCM, he won both major violin prizes, before leaving with a first class honours degree.
In 2001, Hancox founded the Sacconi Quartet along with its co-founders, Hannah Dawson, Robin Ashwell and Cara Berridge.
The quartet started off playing in weddings, but rapidly grew as more and more people became aware of their existence.
