Documented collaborators

East Village Opera Company (EVOC) blends the power of a rock band with a string quartet to reimagine opera arias for modern audiences. Formed in 2004 in New York's East Village by vocalist Tyley Ross and arranger/multi-instrumentalist Peter Kiesewalter, EVOC later joined forces with AnnMarie Milazzo on vocals. The result is a dynamic, arena-ready sound that’s been described as opera meets arena rock.
