“My week at SPA was definitely one of the best weeks of my life. I met great people and had amazing teachers who helped me to see what I was truly capable of, musically.”
- Alexandria Way, violist
The Sphinx Performance Academy is a full-scholarship intensive chamber music and solo performance program designed for aspiring Black and Latino string players, ages 12-17.

The acclaimed Catalyst Quartet, Sphinx’s premiere chamber ensemble, will serve as Senior Faculty for both sessions. Private lesson instruction will be provided by Resident Quartet, comprised of top alumni of the Sphinx Competition.
