Welcome to Voice of Iris!

We are a new Boston-based company seeking to dismantle the gender disparity gap in staged vocal works. We are thrilled at the success of our first season, and are eagerly gearing up for 2025-2026! If you're passionate about equity in the vocal music industry, you're in the right place. Please spread our mission and help us reach our goal! Thank you - we couldn't do this without the passion and enthusiasm of our community!

Voice of Iris Mission Statement:

Voice of Iris provides staged performance opportunities for those voices most directly impacted by the gender disparity gap in classical music: women and gender nonconforming treble voices. Through commissioning new repertoire, staging existing treble voice compositions, and gender-bending canonical classical and musical theater works, Voice of Iris empowers artists to explore diversity and intersectionality in music. Voice of Iris uses their stage time and genre-crossing performances to give voice to existing systems of oppression and encourage revolution, presenting their audiences with innovative, unapologetic, and musically excellent experiences.

Voice of Iris Season Two!
