Italian name of the orchestra was
taken from the romantic true story about Grzegorz Olkiewicz
who, coming back from the long tourneé, decided to give
his wife a gift. He decided to give his wife a bottle of
marvelous perfume with two notes painted on it. The clasp
of the bottle looked like the silver tuning fork.
When four months later the first in Poland, experimental
orchestra was created, charmed by
the gift Mrs Olkiewicz named her orchestra Sotto Voc
which means 'softly, in whisper'.
In this way Laura Biagiotti's perfume became an inspiration
for the artists...
'Sotto Voce' was founded in May of 1997. Since then the
orchestra has appeared during many cultural and business
events. The members of this group are young and gifted female
musicians who come from every part of Poland. All the artists
are prize winners in several contests.
The trump of Sotto Voce is its professionalism, but the
thing which makes this orchestra really different from the
others is charm, beauty and elegance of playing women.
"(...) A great attribute of Sotto Voce
is their professionalism, and what distinguishes this orchestra
is beauty, charm, and elegance of the performing artists.
Music of these young ladies is much more sophisticated due
to their hairstyles, jewellery and artistic clothes designed
exclusively for Sotto Voce by Stage Fashion Studio 'Coloris'
from Wroc³aw.
All concerts of Sotto Voce end with a standing ovation
of the audience.
