ICQ Alumni Spotlight: New York Voices -- Darmon Meader '84, Peter (Cummings) Eldridge '82, Kim Nazarian '83, and Lauren Kinhan
To experience the New York Voices jazz quartet in concert is to encounter infectious energy, tight harmonies at breakneck tempos, and program notes that reveal equal talents in composing and arranging. In some of their proudest moments, members have shared the stage and studio with legends Paquito D'Rivera, Bobby McFerrin, and Nancy Wilson; toured with the Boston Pops; and jammed alongside the Ithaca College jazz ensemble. With two Grammy Awards, thriving performing and recording careers -- both as ensemble and as solo artists -- increasing commitments as music educators, and busy personal lives, these musicians still say one of their greatest accomplishments is the longevity of the ensemble.
