Roomful of Teeth at Sewanee

The Sewanee Performing Arts Series is thrilled to present Roomful of Teeth, a groundbreaking vocal ensemble renowned for their innovative and boundary-pushing approach to contemporary choral music. Founded in 2009 by Brad Wells, Roomful of Teeth showcases the expressive limits of the human voice, incorporating an eclectic range of vocal techniques, from Western classical to belt, folk, yodeling, and throat singing. Most recently, they earned a 2024 GRAMMY for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance with their album Rough Magic, and they tour nationally and internationally on stages from Bogotá to Bruges. Committed to the creation of new works, Roomful of Teeth made the original recording of member Caroline Shaw’s Partita for 8 Voices and catapulted her to the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2013. Roomful of Teeth has continued to embrace the evolving nature of music by exploring the intersection of voice and technology, challenging conventional boundaries and reshaping the landscape of vocal performance.
