INVERSION CODA PRESENTS

AMERICA, OUR AMERICA

SEPTEMBER 13 | 7:00 P.M. | ST. JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH

Coda opens Inversion Ensesmble's 10th season, presenting AMERICA, OUR AMERICAa concert that includes a mix of classical, folk, and pop music from all over the world, along with newer compositions.

With repertoire spanning centuries, AMERICA, OUR AMERICA is Inversion's nod to the past while keeping its foothold planted firmly in the new and present. At the very heart of it, America is built on the backs of immigrants. With our country so very much divided, and many of our rights being threatened, this concert is a reminder for all to take a breath, to remember our shared and lived histories, and to look towards a brighter, more colorful, kinder future for all. This concert partially benefits Casa Marianella, an organization Inversion has partnered with in the past that welcomes displaced immigrants and promotes self-sufficiency by providing shelter and support services.

Coda is Inversion's community chorus exclusively for singers aged 50 and above who want to hone their musical chops, keep on singing and learning challenging music, and create music with others who are experiencing vocal changes that come with age. This current 50-strong singer roster is made up of both seasoned and brand new choristers from around the Austin Metro area. Benjamin Dia, collaborative pianist, and Katrina Saporsantos, Interim Artistic Director make up the artistic team.

    Our Core Values

    Collaboration

    Choral singing is inherently collaborative. Inversion works with living composers, adding an additional layer to the collaborative process. Through its community partnerships and audience engagement events, Inversion embraces the spirit of collaboration in all it undertakes.

    Ensuring Equity

    Diversity enriches the arts. New art forms flourish when the voices of disenfranchised and under-represented populations are included in programs, governance, and community activities. Inversion’s mission to commission and perform new music embraces a full range of races, genders and ages in its creative process and its leadership structure. It affiliates with other nonprofits that share its commitment to social justice. 

    Innovating and Risk-taking

    Inversion was born to innovate. It is in a constant process of evolving and inventing through its multi-media programs, its non-traditional formats and venues, and its composers’ collaborative model. Its leadership stays abreast of musical trends and constantly seeks out new ideas and new forms of musical inspiration. Inversion is willing to take risks to explore the outer edges of its musical art form. 

    Aspiring to Excellence

    Inversion’s composers, performers, and production teams strive for the highest possible levels of quality in musical performance and technical presentation. Its board upholds best practices in leadership, governance, and stewardship of the financial and human resources essential to fulfilling its mission.
