Charlotte Symphony: An Evening with Sphinx Virtuosi

October 9 @ 8:00 pm

Join the Charlotte Symphony for an unforgettable evening at our Annual Gala Concert featuring the “top-notch” chamber ensemble (The New York Times) that is breaking down barriers to classical music!
Renowned for their extraordinary artistry and commitment to diversity, the Sphinx Virtuosi have performed with Beyoncé and Jay-Z and appeared on the 2022 GRAMMY Awards broadcast. In this one-night-only event, the ensemble and celebrated violinist Adé Williams perform with the Charlotte Symphony under the direction of Conductor Laureate Christopher Warren-Green.
The program showcases diverse voices and musical storytelling, including two world premieres: Daydreaming, an imaginative tribute to Scott Joplin by film composer and advocate Levi Taylor, and Drill by violinist-composer Curtis Stewart, who “translates stories of American self-determination to the concert stage.”  The evening also includes well-known works by Bernstein, Piazzolla, Joplin, and more.
