Kennedy Center Terrace Theater

The vibrant, self-conducted string orchestra Sphinx Virtuosi returns. Comprised of 18 accomplished Black and Latinx artists, Sphinx Virtuosi seeks to evolve and transform the face of classical music through artistic excellence, pioneering programming, and impassioned community engagement. Heralded for its kaleidoscopically varied repertoire, the group brings another bold thematic program, featuring emerging percussion soloist Britton-René Collins. Sphinx Virtuosi is the flagship performing entity of the Sphinx Organization, dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts and centered in the artistry of composers and artistic visionaries of color.

This performance is a co-presentation with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in cooperation with the Coalition for African Americans in the Performing Arts.
