Soprano Juliet Fraser specialises in the gnarly edges of contemporary classical music. She regularly appears as a soloist with ensembles Musikfabrik, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Modern and Quatuor Bozzini, as a duo with pianist Mark Knoop or violinist Hannah Weirich, and alone on stage in works for voice and electronics. She remains a core member of EXAUDI vocal ensemble, which she co-founded with James Weeks in 2002. She is an active commissioner of new repertory and has worked particularly closely with composers Georges Aperghis, Pascale Criton, Catherine Lamb, Cassandra Miller and Rebecca Saunders. She is equally recognised for breathing new life into existing works such as Feldman’s Three Voices, Grisey’s Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil and Vivier’s Bouchara. In 2023 she created VOICEBOX, a radical new training programme for singers specialising in contemporary vocal performance. As a guest tutor, she has led voice studios for Darmstadt Ferienkurse, Fondation Royaumont, Mixtur Festival and Britten Pears Young Artist Programme, and she regularly gives masterclasses at universities and conservatoires around Europe. She also enjoys writing words about being a performer: essays have been published by Wolke, Cambridge University Press, Sounds Now and Schott, as well as on Substack. Fraser is artistic director of eavesdropping festival in London. In 2023 she was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Music by Southampton University.
