VERDIGRIS ENSEMBLE INVITES YOU TO REIMAGINE THE STORIES WE TELL

A group of musicians performing on stage with a large, illuminated backdrop depicting a green, jungle scene with animals and trees, and a caption that says 'I don't remember that.'

[What to expect

This season, Verdigris Ensemble invites you to RE:IMAGINE the stories we tell, the way we listen, and the spaces where music lives. Through four bold performances, we take familiar forms—childhood tales, city streets, radio transmissions, and even the concert itself—and transform them into immersive, multisensory experiences.

Whether you’re stepping into a mystery with Betty’s Notebook, becoming part of a living composition in In C, rediscovering Dallas through poetry and dance in This Place Called Dallas, or seeing love come to life in The Velveteen Rabbit, this season is an open door. You don’t need to know the rules—just bring your curiosity.

This is about hearing things differently, feeling things more deeply, and reimagining what’s possible.
