NINTH ARTISTIC SEASON
COMING UP NEXT
Hear Me Roar!
On March 1-2, 2025, Inversion’s professional treble chorus Da Capo presents Hear Me Roar!, a concert that empowers and uplifts voices that are often silenced—that of BIPOC women, folks in the non-binary and LGBTQIA+ communities, and countries suffering from the ravages of war. The program features newly commissioned works from several of Inversion’s in-house composers, among others, all of whom belong to those “silenced” communities this program holds space for. Da Capo is directed by Katrina Saporsantos.

Fire, Water, and the Air We Breathe
As part of its OffBeat Series, KMFA Classical 89.5 presents Inversion in Fire, Water, and the Air We Breathe, a concert that asks questions of human existentialism. Are we a truly important species or simply a temporary environmental disruption? We are the "creators" of fire and technology, but also the inventors of the atomic bomb. And finally, is it our destiny to reach beyond this planet? Centered around a brand new work from composer Juhi Bansal, concerts will take place Saturday, October 26 at 7 PM and Sunday, October 27 at 4 PM at the KMFA Draylen Mason Music Studio.
