Nadia Eskandari, Class of 2016 Nadia is the violist for, Vulva Voce, an all-female genre-defying string quartet that brings exciting, dynamic performances of music composed by women and underrepresented voices to spaces and venues beyond the concert hall. Their mission is to break away from long-held conventions of classical music and the string quartet, presenting audiences with radical and refreshing musical experiences. They are all classically trained, but with interests in folk, jazz, improvisation, contemporary classical, and experimental music-making, their performances are a unique delve into female composers from across centuries.
