An Evening with Sphinx: Martin University Night at the ISO
Hilbert Circle Theatre
The Performance
Thanks to the generous support of the Eli Lilly and Company Foundation, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is honored to partner with the Sphinx Organization, a national nonprofit dedicated to developing young Black and Latinx classical musicians, to bring Sphinx artists and ISO musicians together.
This performance honors Martin University and its commitment to creating opportunities for students in an inclusive environment. In alignment with the ISO’s goals of promoting diversity, inclusivity, equity, and belonging in the classical music experience, the program will explore undiscovered classical works curated by cellist and Sphinx musician Thomas Mesa.
This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
