‘Precision. Power. Refusal to soften’ - Subverting expectations is embedded in Vulva Voce’s fabric, lighting up the stage with their energy, personalities and humour. Dancing, singing and stomping in boilersuits and Doc Martin boots, at the heart of their performance is the empowerment of women’s voices as they fuse the historical with original to create music full of emotion, power and rebellion. They combine their musical influences of folk, techno, jazz and beyond to create music that may span genres, but leaves you feeling energised and inspired by the thread of women’s stories. 

 

Released in 2025, Vulva Voce received funding from the PRS Foundation’s Women Make Music grant to record and release their debut EP, Maddalena. This also supported two original remixes by Hannah Young and Alicia Jane Turner. 

 

Their innovative approach has gained them recognition by the GRAMMYS website, BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio Manchester, Clash Magazine, The Strad and Slipped Disc. They have performed internationally, collaborating with artists such as Ringdown (Caroline Shaw and Danni Lee), Bishi, Ash, The Beatbox Collective, The Manatees, DJ Masa, Esther Swift, Good Habits and many more. In March 2024, Vulva Voce were invited to perform at SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, to perform on the British Music Embassy Stage, Beyond the Music and Classical Unlocked showcases. Since then they have performed at Glastonbury Festival, WOMEX, Urkult Festival, Bristol Folk Festival, SXSW London and Classical Next. Renowned by the UK’s musical heritage, they feature on the O2’s Music Mapper campaign. 

 

​Vulva Voce are committed to a more sustainable model of touring and received funding to complete their 2023 European Tour entirely by land-travel, where they played to sold out venues across Scandinavia and Germany. Since then they have completed journeys to Prague, Estonia and Urkult Festival with flexible modes of transport, including overnight trains and boats! 

​

Education and community work is a key part of their mission, with the belief that exposure to a diverse range of composers and music is crucial to making classical music more inclusive. Vulva Voce have worked with the Benedetti Foundation, RNCM Pathfinders, the Music in Secondary Schools Trust, Galaxy House Unit at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, and the Untold Orchestra to create memorable and uplifting experiences through music.
