The NAMM Foundation Grantee Spotlight: Sphinx Performance Academy

In Summer 2019 The NAMM Foundation announced grants for 28 music-making organizations with funds totaling $675,000. These organizations can be found throughout the United States and include seven international efforts. One grantee included in this diverse lineup is the Sphinx Performance Academy (SPA) which was founded in 1997 by Aaron P. Dworkin with the goal of “addressing the underrepresentation of people of color in classical music.”
