The Sphinx Virtuosi is a chamber orchestra comprised of 18 top Black and Latinx classical soloists.

In today's installment of Sound Perimeter, University of Arkansas Music Professor Lia Uribe introduces us to the Sphinx Organization, which is dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts. We hear "Strum" by Jessie Montgomery as performed by faculty at the Chamber Center of New York, "Quint dat Fool'nish" by William Grant Still, and "Elegy: In memoriam- Stephen Lawrence" by Phillip Herbert as performed by the Sphinx Virtuosi.

Leigh Wood was the General Manager of KUAF from August 2019 to February 2024. She also produced several KUAF podcasts including Resilient Black Women, The R Word and RefleXions.
