Hailed for their “polish and tonal allure” (The New York Times), the Sphinx Virtuosi is a vibrant conductorless chamber orchestra of 18 top Black and Latinx musicians.

As the nation’s leading nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives through the arts, the ensemble expands the reach of classical music through purposeful programming and community engagement.

Joined by acclaimed violinist Randall Goosby, who returns after his stunning debut performance with the London Philharmonic Orchestra last season, their robust program incorporates a thoughtfully curated mix of new and classic pieces.
