Juliet Fraser

Soprano Juliet Fraser specialises in the gnarly edges of contemporary classical music. Internationally recognised as a committed interpreter of new music, Fraser regularly appears as a guest soloist with ensembles such as Ensemble Musikfabrik, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Modern, Remix Ensemble, Talea Ensemble and Quatuor Bozzini, and as a duo with pianist Mark Knoop. She also remains a core member of EXAUDI vocal ensemble, which she co-founded with composer/conductor James Weeks in 2002. Fraser is an active commissioner of new repertoire and has worked particularly closely with composers Laurence Crane, Pascale Criton, Bernhard Lang, Cassandra Miller and Rebecca Saunders. She is equally recognised for breathing new life into existing works such as Milton Babbitt’s “Philomel”, Morton Feldman’s “Three Voices” and Gérard Grisey’s “Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil”. Fraser’s discography reflects the full breadth of her repertoire, with acclaimed recordings of early music performed with Collegium Vocale Gent, Gli Angeli Genève and EXAUDI released on Harmonia Mundi, Outhere and Winter & Winter, and solo albums of contemporary repertoire released on NEOS, Kairos, HCR, Hat Hut and Another Timbre. Fraser is the founder and artistic director of the eavesdropping festival in London and co-director of all that dust, a little independent label for new music.
