Los Angeles, CA – Tonality, the acclaimed vocal ensemble known for its mission to inspire empathy, awareness and change through singing human stories, is thrilled to announce its recent win at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards. "So She Howls," the groundbreaking album by Carla Patullo featuring twelve Tonality vocalists, won the prestigious GRAMMY Award for Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album.

This accolade not only celebrates the talent and hard work of all those involved in the album's creation but also underscores Tonality's dedication to exploring and giving voice to authentic human stories through music.
