# Event Details - **Event Name**: New York Voices: The Grand Finale - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 20 Nov, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: New York Voices is: Kim Nazarian, soprano Lauren Kirhan, soprano Darmon Meader, tenor Peter Eldridge, baritone After 38 years as an internationally-renowned vocal jazz ensemble, New York Voices is retiring on a high-note with an international Farewell Tour. Founded in the mid-1980’s at New York’s Ithaca College, New York Voices has released 10 studio albums featuring their signature sound and eclectic musical choices. They follow their passions on choosing repertoire and how to write for the human voice. They special guested on two Grammy award winning projects with The Count Basie Orchestra and Paquito D’Rivera. A contemporary classical record, Visions Within, a Meeting of Minds with the Bob Mintzer Big Band and a soon to be released collaboration with Ivan Lins rounds out the large projects in their catalogue. Too numerous to mention guest artist appearances flesh out a long career of recording, collaborating and being in demand for projects looking for their special sound and refined artistry. New York Voices recently announced their plan to retire by the end of 2026. In a farewell video, they expressed the following: “We have some momentous news to share with you that has come to us over time, reflection and huge amounts of affection given to making the decision. New York Voices has decided to hang up our mics and retire our band. Having created and nurtured this musical family for the past 38 years, it has taken us all over the world to stages large and small, and created projects near and dear to us. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunities our voices have afforded us and will be forever indebted to our fans, bands, labels, agents, managers, lawyers, promoters, sound persons, education colleagues, students, friends and families for sharing the adventures with us. It has taken a village to manifest our good fortune and we know it! While this may come as a shock to many, the four of us want to retire the group on a high note. We are excited to say we will continue working through the end of 2026, which will allow us plenty of time to perform and take one last lap around the planet as the "The Four and Only," as Paquito D'Rivera lovingly calls us. Importantly, you should also know individually we will continue to work as solo artists and educators until our own devised destinies reach their peaks. In that sense, NYV will always be, in some part, still out there. We look forward to making this time very special and savoring every moment.” - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/groton/new-york-voices-the-grand-finale/200030603542336 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, meetups, live-music, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 6 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Groton - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: 122 Old Ayer Road, Groton, MA, United States, Massachusetts 01450 - **lat**: 42.59539 - **long**: -71.57107 - **full address**: 122 Old Ayer Road, Groton, MA, United States, Massachusetts 01450 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: New York Voices: The Grand Finale - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/86dc9f0fd434cfd4fd338f0e4da6f6c55dafe847d64b6ff6be73d7987d5fc7b8-rimg-w1200-h1157-dcf8f8f8-gmir?v=1788265072 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is New York Voices: The Grand Finale being held? - **A:** New York Voices: The Grand Finale takes place on Fri, 20 Nov, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Fri, 20 Nov, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 122 Old Ayer Road, Groton, MA, United States, Massachusetts 01450. - **Q**: Who is organizing New York Voices: The Grand Finale? - **A:** New York Voices: The Grand Finale is organized by Groton Hill Music. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
