Iris Orchestra Tickets

Iris Orchestra has long stood at the heart of the Germantown Performing Arts Center (GPAC) as its resident ensemble, a role it embraced at the turn of the millennium. Created with a mission to champion both canonical works and contemporary American repertoire, Iris Orchestra has built a reputation for bold collaborations, artistic risk-taking, and community engagement. The ensemble's inaugural GPAC season featured Yo-Yo Ma, signaling a commitment to world-class artistry from day one. In recent years, the group has rebranded as Iris Collective and expanded its presence in Memphis, deepening partnerships with local venues and cultural organizations while continuing to bring memorable performances to audiences through staged series such as On Stage with Iris Collective at GPAC and Crosstown Arts.

As an ensemble with a storied discography and a forward-looking artist roster, Iris Collective remains dedicated to accessible, high-quality concert experiences. Whether revisiting masterworks or presenting new American voices, this is a company where every performance feels personally curated—like having a friend in the music business who can guide you to remarkable seats and unforgettable moments.
