Marguerite Cox is a double bassist from Northeast Ohio. In 2023, she received her master’s degree from the Curtis Institute of Music, where she was a member of the first-ever class of instrumental master’s students and the first recipient of a Master of Music in Double Bass Performance. She graduated from Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, where she was a student of Paul Ellison and worked closely with Tim Pitts.
