About this grant

This renewal grant will provide support to the Sphinx Organization to offer a continuum of music instruction and cultural experiences to underserved students in Flint. The Sphinx Overture program, which introduces students to classical music and violin, serves all Flint public elementary schools as well as community organizations such as Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Flint. The program will provide students with free afterschool group violin lessons. Through a partnership with the Flint Institute of Music, students from the program will be eligible for more advanced violin lessons and classes at no cost.
