Sphinx Virtuosi
They’re some of this country’s very best Black and Latinx solo musicians, drawn from top orchestras and conservatories. In Akron they’ll share Land of the Free, a timely program pairing such favorites as Barber’s Adagio for Strings and Dvořák’s American Quartet with compelling new works by Xavier Foley and Jessie Montgomery.
Rubén Rengel, violin I
Jannina Norpoth, violin II
