Da Capo

Da Capo is a professional ensemble dedicated to new music for treble voices.  Da Capo means literally "from the head" and this ensemble showcases thoughtful and provocative music while maintaining Inversion's mission of performing new music from primarily local composers—singing Austin's present and future, not Europe's past.  

When it comes to music written for sopranos and altos, choral composers often resort to a particular style: soft and pretty.  And with good reason!  Treble voices do that very well.  But they can also run the gamut of human expression in a way that pierces the soul. Da Capo aims to evoke the power and delicacy, the grit and gloss, the stoicism and passion of treble voices in harmony.
