ABOUT AARON'S WORK
Aaron Dworkin is a talented violinist, charismatic arts educator, and the Founder and President of the Detroit-based Sphinx Organization. He and his organization have expanded access for increased numbers of minorities to careers in classical music around the country. Through his efforts, he has transformed the lives of many African-American and Latino musicians and changed the landscape of classical music in America. As minorities currently comprise only 1.5 percent of professional symphony players in the United States, Sphinx set a course to attract young men and women to classical music, countering their perception that such careers face insurmountable barriers and providing them with rigorous training, affordable instruments, and performance opportunities. The results have been to turn out fresh new talent second to none and to fill a void recognized by all. Determined to reverse the isolation of whole populations of young musicians from the beauty, value, and meaning of classical music, Dworkin began by organizing an annual national competition for minority string players. His programs grew rapidly to encompass an orchestra entirely composed of African-American and Latino musicians; a summer training program for underprivileged string players; music education outreach programs in Detroit public schools; an instrument fund for players unable to afford them; and a scholarship fund for deserving musicians who otherwise could not go on for advanced training. Through his programs and nurturing support, Dworkin assures access and enriches symphonies across the country.

BIOGRAPHY
Aaron Dworkin received a B.M. (1997) and an M.M. (1998) from the University of Michigan. In 1996, Dworkin founded The Sphinx Organization, for which he now serves as president. A frequent speaker on youth and minority involvement and career development in classical music, he also serves as an advisor for several education and music organizations, including the University Musical Society and the Rachel Elizabeth Barton Foundation.

关于亚伦的工作
亚伦-德沃金是一位才华横溢的小提琴家，富有魅力的艺术教育家，也是位于底特律的斯芬克斯组织的创始人和总裁。他和他的组织在全国范围内扩大了越来越多的少数民族进入古典音乐职业的机会。通过他的努力，他改变了许多非裔美国人和拉丁裔音乐家的生活，并改变了美国古典音乐的面貌。由于少数族裔目前只占美国专业交响乐演奏者的1.5%，斯芬克斯设定了一条吸引年轻男性和女性从事古典音乐的路线，反对他们认为这种职业面临不可逾越的障碍的看法，并为他们提供严格的培训、负担得起的乐器和表演机会。其结果是培养出了首屈一指的新人才，并填补了一个大家都认可的空白。德沃金决心扭转整个年轻音乐家群体与古典音乐的美感、价值和意义隔绝的状况，他首先为少数民族弦乐手组织了一次年度全国性的比赛。他的项目迅速发展，包括一个完全由非裔美国人和拉丁裔音乐家组成的乐团；一个为贫困弦乐手提供的夏季培训项目；底特律公立学校的音乐教育推广项目；为无力购买乐器的演奏者提供乐器基金；以及为那些因其他原因无法继续接受高级培训的优秀音乐家提供奖学金基金。通过他的项目和培养支持，德沃金保证了全国各地交响乐团的使用权和丰富性。
