New York Voices began in the mid-1980s at Ithaca College, when Peter Eldridge, Kim Nazarian and Darmon Meader came together in the school鈥檚 vocal jazz ensemble. Originally formed for a European jazz festival tour, the group found chemistry and momentum that soon led them to New York City, where they added Sara Krieger and officially launched under the name 鈥淣ew York Voices.鈥
Their blend of vocal precision, jazz sophistication, and crossover appeal quickly caught attention, landing them a deal with GRP Records in 1989. With their debut album, they began touring nationally and internationally, building a loyal audience. Over the years, the group evolved, eventually solidifying into the now-iconic quartet of Eldridge, Nazarian, Meader and Lauren Kinhan.
Throughout their nearly 40 year career, New York Voices released ten acclaimed albums, collaborated with legends like the Count Basie Orchestra, Paquito D鈥橰ivera, and the Bob Mintzer Big Band, and became champions of vocal jazz education through their annual Vocal Jazz Camps.
In 2024, the group announced plans to retire at the end of 2026. As they take their 鈥渇inal lap around the planet,鈥 they remain committed to celebrating the journey, sharing their artistry, and going out on a high note.
This performance will feature a special onstage collaboration between the New York Voices and 海角乱伦社区 music students, local high school musicians and the Southern Tier Singers Collective.

Jonathan Larson鈥檚 groundbreaking Tony and Pulitzer Prize -winning musical听RENT听returns in a powerful new symphonic concert version.
With a live cast, full band, and symphonic arrangements,听RENT in Concert听reimagines the beloved rock musical in a bold and moving format. This production brings Larson鈥檚 raw, emotional score to life with a new sonic depth while staying true to its story of community, love, loss, and resilience in the face of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
Fans of the original will find this concert both familiar and fresh; an homage to a show that defined a generation and continues to speak powerfully today.
Bagpipes with attitude. 听Drums with a Scottish accent.听
It鈥檚 The Red Hot Chilli Pipers (that鈥檚 Pipers, NOT Peppers!), the nine piece ensemble of pipers, guitarists, keys and drummers who rock the world with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that leaves audiences and band alike breathless.听
Since they walked away with the top prize on the U.K. primetime talent show, 鈥淲hen Will I Be Famous鈥 in 2007, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers haven't stopped for a breath, other than to inflate their bagpipes! Formed in 2002, The Chillis have become a global phenomenon, taking their signature 'bagrock' sound to the masses with their unique fusion of rocked up bagpipes and clever covers of popular songs from all genres. Their trademark sound is a unique fusion of traditional pipe tunes like 鈥淭he Flowers of Scotland鈥 and contemporary anthems like Queen鈥檚 鈥淲e Will Rock You.鈥 The band has four music degrees from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and all the pipers and drummers have played at the top level in bagpiping.
The Pipers have sold out the Anderson Center twice before and we can鈥檛 wait to welcome them back to celebrate St. Patrick鈥檚 Weekend in 2026!
This performance will feature a special onstage collaboration between the Red Hot Chilli Pipers and local bagpipe groups.
