New York Voices for one night only!
For over three decades, New York Voices has stood at the pinnacle of jazz vocal artistry, blending intricate harmonies, improvisational brilliance, and genre-spanning versatility over their ten acclaimed albums. Formed in 1987, the GRAMMY-winning quartet—Kim Nazarian, Darmon Meader, Lauren Kinhan, and Peter Eldridge—has enchanted audiences worldwide, collaborating with jazz legends like the Count Basie Orchestra, Paquito D'Rivera, and the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band. Their performances, celebrated for both technical mastery and emotional depth, have graced iconic venues from Carnegie Hall to the North Sea Jazz Festival.
​
In 2025, New York Voices embarked on their much-anticipated final tour, “The Grand Finale,” marking the end of an era in vocal jazz. This farewell journey is not just a series of concerts; it is a celebration of the group’s enduring legacy and a heartfelt thank you to generations of fans. Audiences can expect a retrospective of their illustrious career, featuring jazz standards, big band classics, and more. As they take their final bows in cities across the globe, New York Voices’ "Grand Finale" promises to be a poignant, unforgettable tribute to the art of vocal jazz and the indelible mark they leave on music history.
“New York Voices lives up to its reputation as the most exciting vocal ensemble in current jazz...to collect such quality voices in one group is rare enough, yet the real trick of New York Voices is how well they mesh…”
— Boston Herald
"Their phrasing is a joy to the ear, their timing exquisite, and their arrangements are to die for. They are, unquestionably, the vocal giants of jazz and superb singers of swing, much deserving their worldwide recognition."
— The BBC Big Band
