6 answeredSphinx Conference 2027 is scheduled for January 21–23, 2027.
The conference takes place at Detroit Marriott Rennaissance Center in Detroit, Michigan.
The program lists over 30 sessions and more than 90 speakers.
The audience includes musicians, advocates, arts administrators, funders, and students.
It is most useful for arts administrators, funders, musicians and advocates working on diversity and access in classical music, with more than 30 sessions and more than 90 speakers that include Imani Winds and composer Tania León. Students can benefit from the range of practitioners, while anyone seeking a narrowly technical or repertoire-focused meeting may find the inclusion and leadership focus broader than needed.
Attendees at arts and music conferences usually wear smart casual or business casual, with some dressing up for keynotes and performances, and musicians often add a creative touch.
