The New Mexico Symphony Orchestra and New York Voices turn back the clock to the 1960s when the "Fab Four" took the world by storm, The Beach Boys made the summer endless and The Supremes put Motown on the map. Grammy Award winning New York Voices have learned from great groups like Lambert Hendricks Ross, Manhattan Transfer and Take 6 and have taken their group singing to a new level. Their mixture of Jazz, Brazilian, R&B and Pop will make this a memorable evening of 60s and 70s hits.
