⭐️ 2026-27 SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT! ⭐️

We're excited to present to you our upcoming season offerings. Inversion’s Eleventh Season "Portals and Journeys" is all about the exploration of timelines and how moving from one to the next feels like entering a whole new world. Mentally and spiritually, it also means broadening one’s way of thinking, and finding ways by which a person taps into their higher consciousness and/or connects with beings on a higher plane. Full details at inversionatx.org

🎉 THAT’S A WRAP ON SEASON 10! 🎉

Thank you so much to those who attended Inversion’s “String Theory featuring Invoke” concerts this Saturday, June 6, and Sunday, June 7. This was the final concert of our 2025-2026 season. We’re grateful that through our program, we were able to reintroduce ourselves to you and to publicly reinforce the values we hold dear.

We had the pleasure of collaborating with the amazing Invoke, whose artistry we will forever be in awe of; showcasing the talent of local artist Susannah Kirtland, whose brand-new illustrations added so much visual engagement to our concert in ways we could have never imagined; premiering imaginative works by Inversion co-founder Adrienne Inglis, and of Marjorie Halloran and Evan Blaché, brilliant composers who have been a huge part of the Inversion story; and partnering with Women's Storybook Project of Texas whose mission we wholeheartedly support and whose presence during our concerts we greatly appreciated. We also had a singer roster who sang their hearts out, a collaborative pianist whose musicianship is unparalleled, a production team who made sure everything ran smoothly, and volunteers who made everything else happen. We are very grateful.

We can’t wait to let you in on what’s in store for our upcoming season!
