Southern Exposure: Roomful of Teeth

Southern Exposure presents Roomful of Teeth
Grammy-winning vocal octet makes their Columbia debut January 17

Roomful of Teeth is a GRAMMY-winning vocal project dedicated to reimagining the expressive potential of the human voice, and whose members number some of the most versatile young singers in the country, including Pulitzer-winning composer Caroline Shaw.  Through study with masters from vocal traditions the world over, including Tuvan and Inuit throat singing, yodeling, Persian classical singing, Korean P’ansori, and Hindustani music, the eight-voice ensemble continually expands its vocabulary of singing techniques. As part of an ongoing commissioning process, the Roomful of Teeth is forging a new vocal repertoire without borders. The group’s Southern Exposure performance, a sampling of new works written for the ensemble, kicks off the 2019 College Music Society Summit.
