Daydreaming…💭 ✨ Sphinx Virtuosi has officially completed its Fall Tour, visiting several cities and performing dynamic concerts across the country. From Charlotte, NC to Boston, MA, we’ve had the privilege of sharing our music with incredible audiences. 🎻 As we look ahead to Spring 2025, stay tuned for more details on where we’ll be performing next year. Thank you to everyone who joined us on this journey—see you next year! 🎶 Daydreaming by Levi Taylor #SphinxVirtuosi #FallTour #ClassicalMusic #2025Season

✨ We are proud to share that Sphinx SPA Alum Adam Mandela Walden was honored with the Advocate Award by The Learning Rights Law Center on October 27th. 🎶 At just 11 years old, Adam performed Bach’s Cello Suites before a federal judge, shining a spotlight on the exclusion of students with special needs from LAUSD’s magnet school programs. His moving performance prompted an immediate order to include all special needs students in the magnet school lottery, ensuring fair access to educational opportunities. Adam’s advocacy not only made history but also changed the course of special education in Los Angeles, becoming the first student to ride a magnet school bus with his communication paraprofessional. His story is a powerful testament to the intersection of music and social justice. #SphinxAlum #AdvocateAward #EducationReform #Inclusion #LeadershipThroughArt
