    The rich and varied repertoire of the Sotto Voce Quartet is naturally quite valued by its members, but it may also be of some interest to the close-knit tuba/euphonium community. As with any young chamber music genre, there are always new compositions and arrangements that are regularly added to the repertoire in order to help fill the void. Sotto Voce’s list includes works they feel represent the highest standard in the tuba/euphonium quartet literature.

    If you need help finding the repertoire you desire from the list below, please do not hesitate to contact the Sotto Voce Quartet.
