The musicians are from the Sphinx Preparatory Music Institute at Wayne State University, Sphinx Competition Alumni and Sphinx Performance Academy students. The musicians also will take part in a concert where Michelle Obama will introduce Grammy Award-winners such as violinist Joshua Bell, guitarist Sharon Isbin, cellist Alisa Weilerstein and pianist Awadagin Pratt.
