Franklin Cox (born Charleston, Illinois, 1961) is an American composer, scholar, and cellist.
Cox studied with Brian Ferneyhough at the University of California, San Diego, and at the Darmstädter Ferienkurse.
[2] His ongoing concert series, The New Cello, features his work in addition to other composers that explore new possibilities on the instrument through extended techniques and microtonality.
[14] Cox has an international reputation as a scholar and as an editor of scholarship, with particular attention to the European tradition of new music and associated practices in the Americas.
[28][29] His analyses of, and scholarship about, Klaus Hübler, with James Avery, is the definitive lens on that subject.
