Note: This performance was originally scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 14.
The two Sphinx Virtuosi members highlighted on this program have crafted a fantastically conceived concert of solos, duos, and a trio. The evening spotlights Venezuelan violinist Rubén Rengel—the 2018 Sphinx Competition winner who has appeared as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, and Houston Symphony—and Cuban-American cellist Thomas Mesa who earned First Prize in the 2016 Sphinx Competition, is a 2017 Astral Auditions winner, and has appeared as a soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Cleveland Orchestra. Pianist and newly appointed Curtis Institute faculty member Michelle Cann joins the duo as guest artist.
