Quatuor Voce is a dynamic string quartet that has quickly established itself as one of the most respected ensembles in the realm of chamber music. Since their formation in 2004, the French quartet consisting of violinists Sarah Dayan and Cécile Roubin, violist Guillaume Becker, and cellist Lydia Shelley, has charmed audiences and critics alike with their nuanced and spirited performances. Their approach to music-making combines a deep respect for the classical repertoire with a willingness to explore contemporary works and collaborate with living composers.

The ensemble's discography is as diverse as it is sophisticated. With recent releases such as "Poétiques de l'instant II: Ravel & Mantovani" and "Poétiques de l'instant," Quatuor Voce showcases their adeptness at weaving the delicate textures of Maurice Ravel's pieces with the intricate modernism of Bruno Mantovani. Their exploration of musical narratives continues with the fairy tale enchantment of "Ma mère l'Oye, M. 77: III. Laideronnette, Impératrice des pagodes" and the lyrical reflections within "Proses lyriques, L. 84: II. De grève." Albums like "Family Tree," "Train de nuit," and "Itinéraire" exhibit their versatility, presenting listeners with a blend of traditional and contemporary repertoire, whereas their renditions of classical cornerstones, as demonstrated in "Mozart & Schubert: Quartets Nos. 15," reaffirm their status as connoisseurs of the string quartet literature. By engaging in projects like "Les Correspondances" and its complement "Les correspondances: The B-Sides," Quatuor Voce has solidified their position as a force of innovation and a conduit for a deeper understanding and appreciation of chamber music.
