Roomful of Teeth
Roomful of TeethPresented by Saffron Hall
Part of Saffron Sessions
No vocal technique is considered off limits for Roomful of Teeth – Caroline Shaw’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Partita conjures an ever-changing kaleidoscope of colour, from richly honeyed hints of the townships, spiky interlocking wordless riffs and monastic chanting, to clicks, Inuit throat singing and polyphonic playful prattling.
In one of only two UK appearances this year, this astonishing, Grammy-winning vocal ensemble surround it with a selection of the most imaginative of contemporary vocal music by female composers, drawing their inspiration from Shakespeare's The Tempest to square dance calls, wall drawing instructions to modern poetry. Unique in today’s new music landscape, Roomful of Teeth pull at the extremities of emotion through the limitless colour palette of the human voice, and are inspiring a generation of composers to journey with them.
