The youngest of four children who all played stringed instruments, Knox chose to study the viola as his primary instrument. After studies at the Royal College of Music in London with Frederic Riddle, he became a member of Pierre Boulez’s Ensemble InterContemporain in Paris (1983–1990) then joined the Arditti Quartet in London (1990–1997). He has given first performances by and worked with most of the leading composers. (György Ligeti, Iannis Xenakis, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Boulez, György Kurtág, Salvatore Sciarrino, Hans Werner Henze etc.) Now soloist on viola and viola d’amore, he lives in Paris.

In 2009 Garth Knox recorded another CD with ECM that was published in 2012: Saltarello – “a 14th-century fast Italian dance in ¾ time that survives today as a folk dance”. Knox (fiddle, viola and viola d’amore) is accompanied by Agnès Vesterman (violoncello) and Sylvain Lemêtre (percussion). The compositions interpreted by the trio range from medieval music (Hildegard von Bingen, Guillaume de Machaut), renaissance (John Dowland), baroque (Henry Purcell, Antonio Vivaldi) to those of contemporaries like Kaija Saariaho and Garth Knox himself.
