The Sphinx Virtuosi is a dynamic and inspiring professional self-conducted chamber orchestra comprised of 18 accomplished Black and Latinx artists who perform historically excluded composers from the tradition classical canon, such as Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Alberto Ginastera, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson, Florence Price, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and George Walker, as well as annually commissioned new works. “Sphinx plays a vital role in the field of music: its ongoing commitment to the central issue of diversity is providing unprecedented opportunities for a broad range of young people.” — Clive Gillinson, Executive and Artistic Director, Carnegie Hall.
