Aspiring Stars will compete for a top prize of $10,000 and performance opportunities in communities across Detroit. The inaugural jury panel for the Sphinx Stars: Detroit Finals features jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis and Sphinx Founder and President, Aaron Dworkin. On his involvement, Marsalis said "Detroit has an incredibly rich musical history and today is a resurgent beacon for the arts. As the eldest sibling in a musical family, I know intimately how music plays a powerful role in shaping and transforming lives. I am thrilled to be a part of Sphinx Stars: Detroit which offers a critical space for youth to express themselves openly, gives them the opportunity to create community-focused art, and enables great talent to thrive"
