A Concert for Equity in the Arts benefitting Sphinx, hosted by Bass Morris Robinson
Company: Sparrow Live
Oct 25, 3:00 PM EDT – Oct 26, 3:00 PM EDT
Sparrow Live
Join Bass Morris Robinson and special guests for an unforgettable concert to benefit the Sphinx Organization.
This concert also kicks off a quarterly series on Sparrow Live highlighting under represented voices in the arts.
The Sphinx Organization is the social justice organization dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts. Sphinx’s four program areas – Education & Access, Artist Development, Performing Artists, and Arts Leadership – form a pipeline that develops and supports diversity and inclusion in classical music at every level: music education, artists performing on stage, the repertoire and programing being performed, the communities represented in audiences, and the artistic and administrative leadership within the field.
Sphinx was founded in 1997 by Aaron P. Dworkin with the goal of addressing the underrepresentation of people of color in classical music. The name Sphinx, inspired by the mythical creature and legendary statue, reflects the power, wisdom and persistence that characterize Sphinx’s participants, as well as the enigmatic and interpretive nature of music and art.
Now led by President and Artistic Director Afa S. Dworkin, Sphinx programs reach more than 100,000 students and artists as well as live and broadcast audiences of more than two million annually. Read more about Sphinx’s programs at www.SphinxMusic.org.
Performing on the program (additional artists TBA):
-Morris Robinson, Bass
-Marsha Thompson, Soprano
-Allen Michael Jones, Bass Baritone
-Brittany Logan, Soprano
-Sarah Joyce Cooper, Soprano
-Chasiti Lashay, Soprano
