"Philosopher diva Nora York is an adventurous singer-songwriter with a drive to explore the human condition." - ted.com
Nora York’s career, spanning 25 years, has engaged diverse disciplines:
voice, performance, and composition where she merges musical genres and
conceptual sources. She is an adventurous jazz singer and performance artist whose genre-crossing work defies easy categorization. With a sultry, soulful voice and hypnotic stage presence, York has carved out a territory all her own. The Village Voice called her a "singer-songwriter-truthteller".She brings a witty and literate twist to her performances, recombining songs and merging genres in thought-provoking ways.
York has been the featured musical guest on many NPR programs, including The Infinite Mind, Soundcheck and Heat. She is a member of the cast of the ongoing political cabaret Thalia Follies at Symphony Space New York. And in 1998, York was invited to help develop the first voice program at the Tisch School of Drama at New York University. She continues to teach “Creative Voice” at NYU, an exploration of personal narrative through voice, and performance.
