Sphinx Virtuosi at Eastshore Orchestra Festival

Leave a Comment /

Last week we hosted the Eastshore Orchestra 1 Festival and featured guest artists for the first time ever at an Eastshore Orchestra Festival – the Sphinx Virtuosi! The Sphinx Virtuosi is a dynamic and inspiring professional self-conducted chamber orchestra and serves as the flagship performing entity of the Sphinx Organization – the leading non-profit dedicated to transforming lives through the power of the arts.

Seven Orchestras from neighboring schools came to MIHS on Thursday, March 6, to perform and receive a clinic from our guest artists. Our combined Mercer Island Orchestras presented the final pieces of the program that we will be performing in Carnegie Hall and received some excellent feedback from our new friends. All participants were also able to enjoy a concert hour and question and answer session put on by the Sphinx Virtuosi. Below is a video link to our performance.
