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, bold, and unapologetic programming of music for sopranos and altos while maintaining Inversion's mission of performing new music from diverse musical voices and underrepresented communities. It is an ensemble that aims to evoke the power and delicacy, the grit and gloss, the stoicism and passion of treble voices in harmony.

Hear Me Roar! consists of music that amplifies, uplifts, and empowers 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. In case you are new to the Inversion family, we also collaborate with non-profit community partners as part of our Inversion Cares initiative by matching an organization with a particular concert theme. We do this to raise awareness about the work and needs of these organizations by inviting representatives to the concert to share and interact with our audiences. Our Inversion Cares partner for Hear Me Roar is Gender Unbound, a trans and intersex arts community organization that is proudly led by trans and intersex artists. Their mission is to uplift and support transgender and intersex people in Central Texas through building community spaces, spotlighting local talent and fostering connection, joy, relaxation, and creativity.
