ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
|
One of the biggest obstacles in a career of a young aspiring musician is access to a quality instrument. As such, the Sphinx Instrument Fund was established in 2000 with the purpose of providing Sphinx Semi-Finalists who demonstrate a need with high quality instruments for use for one year following their participation in the competition. Sphinx collaborates with Instrument Sponsors who donate the instrument for use by a Semi-Finalist for at least one year to the fund. Recipients are required to attend an instrument care session, and all instruments in the fund are professionally maintained by each maker or dealer. Current family of Instrument Fund Sponsors includes: David Kerr Violins, SHAR Fine Instruments, Psarianos Violins, Geoffrey Ovington Violins, William Harris Lee, Garza Violins, Giovanni Gammuto Violins, Susan Rose, and Alfred Coren. In 2002, Geoffrey Ovington permanently donated a beautiful violin to the Sphinx Organization, and in 2003, the Instrument Fund received a cello donated by Susan Rose, and a violin donated by Alfred Coren.
