The Sphinx Virtuosi, an electrifying ensemble of 18 leading Black and Latinx soloists, returns to the Gardner performing works that explore the unity and division of our world. Opening with Xavier Foley’s Ev’ry Voice, written in 2020 to pay tribute to the Black National Anthem amidst tragedy, uncertainty, and hope, the program features works by Jessie Montgomery, Alberto Ginastera, and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, as well as a string orchestra arrangement of Florence Price’s String Quartet No. 2, which received its Boston Premiere at the Gardner in 2019.
