Transforming livesthrough the power ofdiversityin thearts

“As a 16 year old kid, Sphinx meant to me that I wasn’t

alone. I will never forget meeting for the first time young musicians of color who were

as passionate about classical music as I was. My experience at the Sphinx Competition encouraged me to

work that much harder at the art form that I had fallen in love with and dedicated my life to...Now, as a professional musician, I can look on the Sphinx Organization and see the profound impact

that it is having in the world.”Joseph Conyers
