Creating radical musical experiences, Vulva Voce puts performance at the forefront, combining movement, experimentation and improvisation to produce a truly dynamic show. They combine their musical influences of folk, contemporary classical, techno, and beyond, to push the boundaries of how a string quartet can sound, perform and engage with an audience. The music they play is entirely created by women and under-represented artists from across history, including original music and specially commissioned works. Over the past two years, their innovative approach has gained them publicity on the GRAMMYS website, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Manchester, The Strad and Slipped Disc. In March 2024, they attended South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas and most recently performed at Glastonbury Festival 2024.
