About this organization
Mission
The mission of Iris Orchestra is to provide outstanding experiences in the concert hall, the classroom and throughout the community through musical, educational, and mentoring endeavors. The Iris Orchestra was founded in September 2000 by conductor Michael Stern around a new idea: bring the best musicians from around the country, world-renowned soloists, and one of the most dynamic young conductors in the country to Memphis for a season of outstanding concerts. Now starting its 18th season, Iris Orchestra is a community of virtuosic musicians drawn from leading orchestras, universities and chamber groups around the country. Since its inception, Iris has partnered with a remarkable array of world-renowned soloists including Itzhak Perlman, Joshua Bell, Yo-Yo Ma, Branford Marsalis, Martin Short, Gil Shaham, Jeremy Denk, and Midori to name just a few. This unique model has led Iris to become one of the most successful ensembles in the United States, an exhilarating laboratory for musical discovery and excellence.
