(Mahwah) – The Sphinx Quartet will perform Sunday, April 30 at 3 p.m. in the York Room on the campus of Ramapo College of New Jersey.  The performance is part of the College’s York Room Salon Series and is rescheduled from February.

The Sphinx Quartet, composed of distinguished alumni of the national Sphinx Competition, have the ability to fill a concert venue with an energy that excites and enriches the audience.  Their program for the afternoon will include works by Piazzolla, Debussy, Schostakovich and Schubert.

These young artists made their Carnegie Hall debut in 2004.  In its fifth year as a professional ensemble, the Sphinx Quartet has established itself as one of the leading emerging quartets in the country.  They have demonstrated dedication and commitment to music education as well as to the development of new audiences of diverse ages and cultural backgrounds.

The Sphinx Organization, which sponsors the Sphinx Competition, strives to make classical music reflect cultural diversity and play a role in the everyday lives of youth.

Tickets for The Sphinx Quartet are $13 and include refreshments.  The York Room is located in the Birch Mansion of Ramapo College of New Jersey.  For more information call 201.684.7844.
