Live Music: Nicholas DiMaria Duet

Nicholas DiMaria is a trumpeter, teacher, and composer based in New York City. He draws inspiration from multiple genres and art forms in his compositions and is continuously inspired by expressing visual art in a musical medium. His music is described by audiences as introspective, passionate, and eclectic; influenced by jazz, hip-hop, and classical music.

Nicholas has lead groups at Carnegie Hall, The Northeast Wine and Jazz Festival, The Syracuse Jazz Festival, The Central New York Pride Festival, and restaurants and clubs across New York State. He has also performed at The Great New York State Fair, The CNY January Jazz Festival, the Disneyland All-American College Band, and opened for Grammy-Winner Lalah Hathaway. Nicholas is well-adapted to playing with jazz ensembles, wedding bands, and funk groups. He currently holds a weekly performance residency at Oliva Tapas, NYC (Thursdays and Fridays from 6-8pm). Nicholas is also a faculty member at Larchmont Music Academy, where he teaches trumpet and a jazz ensemble. In 2020, he received his Bachelor’s in Jazz Arts from Manhattan School of Music where he studied with Scott Wendholt, Ingrid Jensen, Jim McNeely, and Jon Faddis.

Nicholas is joined by jazz pianist Jack Gruber who is pursuing his masters at Manhattan School of Music. Jack Gruber was selected out of the whole state of Maryland to be the sole pianist in the 2013 and 2014 Maryland All State Jazz Band. He also performed at the Cleveland Tri-C Jazz Fest, and received a soloist award from acclaimed Jazz pianist Orrin Evans. He has performed alongside numerous notable musicians such as Delfeayo Marsalis, Zara Larrson, Jovan Jackson, Paul Carr, and Karen Summerville, Malik Washington, Qaasim Middleton, and Erena Terakubo.
