The Sphinx Organization is a national non-profit founded in 1996 by Aaron P. Dworkin. Aaron started playing violin at age 5, finished high school at Interlochen, and went on to complete his B.M. and M.M. in violin performance at the University of Michigan. During his music education, he often found himself in orchestras where he was either the only minority or one of only a handful.
