Juliet Fraser, soprano, has a repertoire dominated by the very old and the very new. She has performed as a guest soloist with contemporary music ensembles like Musikfabrik, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Modern, Asko Schönberg, Remix, ICTUS, Plus-Minus and Talea. She is also a core member of EXAUDI vocal ensemble, which she co-founded with composer/conductor James Weeks in 2002.

Juliet is an active commissioner of new music and has worked particularly closely with composers Michael Finnissy, Bernhard Lang, Cassandra Miller and Rebecca Saunders. Much of her commissioning focuses on creating a body of new work for voice and piano (with duo partner Mark Knoop) or for voice and tape/live electronics. Premieres this season include new solo works by Naomi Pinnock, Sivan Eldar, Cassandra Miller, Rebecca Saunders and Christopher Fox at festivals such as Essen NOW!, Huddersfield, Aldeburgh, Manifeste and TIME:SPANS.
