From Sphinx Virtuosi:

Inspired by the poetry of Langston Hughes and Julia Alvarez, we bring you a program showcasing the beauty and tradition of excellence inherent in classical music created and performed by Black and Latinx composers for many generations. Together, we seek to uplift spirits through sharing the sounds that inspire us and transcend the boundaries of time, history, and struggle. We thank you, our listeners, for embracing the many voices and sounds that elevate our collective humanity.

Ay sí,
it's my turn
to oh say
what I see,
I'm going to sing America!
***************
Then, besides
They'll see how beautiful I am . . .
I, too, am America
