Shriver Hall Concert Series: Sphinx Virtuosi (Baltimore Debut) & Sterling Elliott, Cello
Description
The pioneering Sphinx Virtuosi, an 18-member self-conducted string orchestra and flagship ensemble of the Sphinx Organization, makes its Baltimore debut. With "immeasurable power, unwavering command, and soulful beauty" (The Washington Post), these masterful players share a program devoted to peace and the resilience of the human spirit. Acclaimed young cellist Sterling Elliott joins as soloist for American composer's William Grant Still's Suite, inspired by Harlem Renaissance sculptures.
Please join a Pre-Concert Talk at 4:30 p.m. This event is part of the Shriver Hall Concert Series.
