TEAM
embrace the difference
IBOC was co-founded in 2014 by a group of professionals of LatinX, Immigrant, African American, and Jewish Origins. We formed the company because of a need for diversity in the operatic repertoire and our immigrant artist's community needed a door and a platform to leverage their vast skills.
