Sotto Voce has become the genre's most prominent and eloquent voice.

-Barry Kilpatrick
American Record Guide
The critically acclaimed, internationally recognized Sotto Voce Quartet is America’s premiere professional quartet of its kind and has become one of the world’s leading low brass ensembles. The quartet enthusiastically challenges preconceived notions about what tubas can do by composing, arranging, and commissioning virtuosic new works that highlight the diversity of their ensemble and its unique membership.
Having attained an international reputation for serious chamber music, their performances have been showcased on Performance Today and their recordings are often played on Classical Music NPR stations throughout the U.S.  Summit Records distributes their first three albums: “Consequences,” “Viva Voce,” and “Refractions,” while the quartet has recently produced and released their fourth album, “Take This Hammer” featuring works composed specifically for Sotto Voce.  These recordings along with their live album from The 2013 Midwest Band & Orchestra Clinic performance are available here.
The ensemble maintains an active international touring schedule throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. In the past three years, they performed concerts in Norway, Austria, France, Canada, California, Wyoming, Wisconsin, and throughout the Southeastern U.S.  The quartet has held prominent performing/judging roles in the past six International Tuba/Euphonium Conferences. They have also been invited to give concerts and clinics at various state music educator conferences including the prestigious “Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic” and Texas Music Educators’ Conference.  The quartet is sponsored by the Miraphone Instrument Company.

Sotto Voce is a chamber music group of the rarest human and musical chemistry.
