Sphinx Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra performs "This is America" at 2021 Afro-Caribbean Arts Fest

Javacya Arts Conservatory and Javacya Arts Conservatory will present “This is America” by Sphinx Virtuosi, a world-renowned (SV) Chamber Orchestra. Drawing inspiration from today’s most promising voices, Sphinx Virtuosi seeks to lift the many voices within our communities. Despite the physical isolation imposed upon the pandemic, Sphinx Virtuosi is unified through a shared commitment to social impact through their expression. SV is inspired by Michael Abels’s music, one of today’s most versatile composers, spanning cinema and symphonies alike. The sounds of Jessie Montgomery’s Source Code redefine our canon of tomorrow. Starting with the new work by Xavier Foley, Ev’ry Voice, and on their journey toward other American classics, Sphinx Virtuosi seeks to find new ways to lift the voices of black and brown communities through the lens of their black and brown musicians. Though separate from distances and time, they collaborate to share the ensemble’s voices to unify their greater communities during these challenging yet transformative times.
