The Sphinx Organization is dedicated to transforming lives through the power of the arts. Our four program areas—Education & Access, Artist Development, Performing Artists, and Arts Leadership—form a pipeline that develops and supports representation and excellence in classical music at every level: creative youth development, artist empowerment, career advancement, administrative leadership, and service to the field.
The new album American Mirror by Sphinx Virtuosi is out now on Deutsche Grammophon. Rooted in bold new works, the album reflects on identity, belonging, and transformation. Now streaming everywhere!
