Sphinx Virtuosi Announce Fall Tour Dates

Titled “Songs For Our Times,” the program includes four newly-commissioned works

 

The Sphinx Virtuosi will tour seven different American cities this October, as well as making one international trip to São Paulo, Brazil. The group is a self-conducted chamber orchestra, and is comprised of 18 Black and Latinx solo string players.

The program that the Virtuosi are taking on tour is entitled Songs For Our Times. It reflects on the events of the present day, the brilliant voices narrating and commemorating present-day events, and the vibrant gifts of the past that we cherish today.

Four new works have been commissioned especially for the tour: Michael Dudley's Prayer for our Times, Valerie Coleman's Tracing Visions, Jessie Montgomery's Divided, and Ricardo Herz's Sísifo na Cidade Grande.
