Roomful of Teeth is a vocal ensemble focused on contemporary classical music. Founded in 2009, it premiered composer Caroline Shaw's Pulitzer Prize-winning work, "Partita for Eight Voices" and in 2014 won a Grammy Award for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance.
Roomful of Teeth's stated mission is to "mine the expressive potential of the human voice", and its eponymous debut album features yodels, grunts, audible exhalations, drones and other techniques from a wide variety of musical traditions.
