NLS Music Notes Webinar, October 22

Noah Tobias Carver (he/him) is a tenor soloist and disability rights advocate creating impactful musical experiences and working to protect and expand awareness for disabled musicians and the public.

He has been featured as the tenor soloist in multiple performances with ensembles at the Eastman School of Music and throughout the Rochester area. Winner of the 2026 Eastman Concerto Competition, Carver can also be heard on a recording of Noel da Costa's “Two Songs for Julie Ju (Part 2)” with pianist Dr. Brock Tjosvold on the album “In Plain Sight: The Black Anthology.”
