Sotto Voce Quartet

The **Sotto Voce Quartet** is a trailblazing tuba ensemble known for reshaping perceptions of low brass through virtuosic performances and innovative commissions. As America’s premier professional tuba quartet, they’ve toured globally—from Germany to Canada—and held residencies at major events like the International Tuba/Euphonium Conference. Members like Demondrae Thurman (University of Alabama), Mike Forbes (composer of works like *Four Miniatures*), Nat McIntosh (Young Blood Brass Band founder), and Mark Carlson (Mount Saint Mary’s University) bring diverse expertise as performers, educators, and composers. Their discography includes collaborative albums like *Take This Hammer* (featuring original works by Forbes and others) and *Consequences*, blending classical adaptations with modern compositions. Passionate about education, the quartet hosts symposiums to mentor emerging tuba-euphonium groups worldwide.
