 ial justice non-profit dedicated to transforming lives through the power of
  diversity in the arts. Comprised of eighteen accomplished Black and Latinx
  artists\, a critical aim of the Sphinx Virtuosi is to evolve and transform
  the face of classical music through artistic excellence\, pioneering progr

 l and diversity ambassadors for audiences and communities around the United
  States during national tours.\n\nSince 2004\, the Sphinx Virtuosi’s concer

  return visits to Carnegie Hall where it is an established highlight of the
  fall season. Frequently selling out venues\, the ensemble has garnered eff
 usive accolades including from The New York Times that has described the gr
 oup as "...top-notch...more essential at this moment than ever...a vibrant\
 , assured performance..."\; and The Washington Post that wrote “true to the
 ir name\, the Sphinx Virtuosi call up the vision of an iconic mythological 
 feline with its immeasurable power\, unwavering command\, and soulful beaut
 y.”\n\nHeralded for its kaleidoscopically varied repertoire and bold themat
 ic programming\, Sphinx Virtuosi concerts give prominence to historically e
 xcluded Black and Latinx composers such as Samuel Coleridge-Taylor\, Albert
 o Ginastera\, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson\, Florence Price\, Heitor Villa-Lo
 bos\, and George Walker. In an effort to expand its repertoire and engage n
 ew audiences\, the ensemble commissions new works annually. Commissions hav

  Coleman\, Xavier Foley\, Jimmy Lopez\, Jessie Montgomery\, Daniel Bernard 
 Roumain\, and Carlos Simon. \n\n \n\nFor more info about this group go to:
