Sphinx Virtuosi

“…top-notch…more essential at this moment than ever.” – The New York Times

“…top-notch…more essential at this moment than ever.” – The New York Times

This dynamic, inspiring, self-conducted chamber orchestra of accomplished Black and Latinx artists works to evolve and transform the face of classical music through artistic excellence, pioneering programming, and impassioned community engagement.  

Inspired by the poetry of Langston Hughes and Julia Alvarez, the ensemble will present a program showcasing the beauty and tradition of excellence inherent in classical music created and performed by Black and Latinx composers for many generations.  “Together, we seek to uplift spirits through sharing the sounds that inspire us and transcend the boundaries of time, history, and struggle.  We thank you, our listeners, for embracing the many voices and sounds that elevate our collective humanity.”
