On January 23, 2016, you and a friend can experience the magic and the art of IRIS Orchestra in Memphis, TN with two (2) complimentary admission tickets. As one of the top chamber orchestras in America, you are sure to be entranced by the beautiful sounds of the acclaimed Midori who is the featured violinist of the evening. Michael Stern is the show's music director. 

As IRIS Orchestra celebrates its exciting 15th season the success of this unique orchestral model is apparent. IRIS consists of virtuosic musicians drawn from leading orchestras, universities and chamber groups in the country and abroad, and is the resident orchestra at the Germantown Performing Arts Center (GPAC) in Germantown, Tennessee. IRIS is both a lively community of musicians and an exhilarating laboratory for musical discovery and excellence.

IRIS upholds a commitment to the highest standard in performance under the leadership of Founding Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Michael Stern. Our purpose: to present innovative programming by combining treasures of the classical cannon with exciting American repertoire, including new works commissioned and premiered by IRIS; and to bring consistent service to the community.
