"Flawless vocal arrangements justify their reputation as the most exciting vocal ensemble on the planet. Gathering such unique voices in one group is extraordinarily rare, and their masterful blending of colours is unparalleled." – Boston Herald
The two-time Grammy Award-winning vocal quartet New York Voices is considered one of the most influential and recognisable names in vocal jazz. Their masterful multi-part harmonies, sophisticated improvisation, and exceptional musicianship have taken them to the world’s greatest stages – from Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Centre to the Kennedy Centre and the iconic Blue Note. Throughout their illustrious careers, they have released more than 14 albums and collaborated with legends such as the Manhattan Transfer, Ivan Lins, George Benson, the Count Basie Orchestra, Paquito D’Rivera, and the WDR Big Band.
At the 2026 Arsana Festival, they will perform as part of their farewell tour, The Grand Finale, representing one of their last joint concerts. With this unique performance, they will share, for the final time, the story they have been writing together for nearly four decades.
As long-time ambassadors of the Arsana Festival and dear friends of Ptuj – a connection dating back to their first visit in 2014 – New York Voices will bid farewell right where a special artistic friendship began.
Emotional. Historic. An unrepeatable musical experience.
