Sphinx Organization in the UK - Amiri Harewood, Nathan Amaral, Sterling Elliott, Celia Hatton, Elena Urioste

The Sphinx Organization is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of young Black and Latino classical musicians. Based in Detroit, Michigan USA, it was founded by the American violinist Aaron Dworkin. 

The Sphinx Organization is bringing a group of artists to the UK this June for tour featuring concerts at Snape Maltings, at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities in Oxford and at Wigmore Hall. The concerts feature Elena Urioste and Nathan Amaral, violin, Celia Hatton, viola, Sterling Elliott, cello and Amiri Harewood, piano, in a mix of American and British music from the 20th century alongside a premiere.

The programmes include the premiere performances of stillness: two meditations for piano quintet by the British composer, saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi, along with Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson's String Quartet No.1 Calvary (from 1956) where the title refers to a Negro spiritual of that name, William Grant Still's Suite for Cello and Piano (from 1943), Florence Price's Piano Quintet No. 1 in A minor (from 1936, revised 1952) which was amongst the cache of manuscripts found in 2009, and works by Frank Bridge and Vaughan Williams.
