“I am flattered, thrilled, and awed to be chosen as a recipient of the Sphinx Medal of Excellence. It is indescribably inspiring to be part of an organization doing such incredible things for the arts; emerging performers; and young, aspiring musicians in this country. Being recognized by Sphinx is one of the greatest honors in my career and I eagerly look forward to my future as part of the Sphinx family!”
