About the Partnership

From sculpture
to sound.

New vocal music inspired by sculpture

Verdigris Ensemble and the Nasher Sculpture Center are developing a partnership that brings the human voice into conversation with works in the Nasher’s collection.

Working with the museum’s curatorial and education staff, Verdigris will create and commission new vocal music in direct response to sculpture. The collection becomes a starting point for musical discovery: a way to experience art through sound as well as sight.

The partnership builds on the organizations’ January 2026 collaboration, when Verdigris performed John Cage’s Hymns and Variations for the opening of Rauschenberg Sculpture.
