Juliet’s repertoire is dominated by the music from either end of the canon: she is as highly regarded for her interpretation of Renaissance and Baroque music as for the most challenging contemporary works. She is principal soprano and managing director of EXAUDI, the acclaimed contemporary music vocal ensemble which she founded in 2002 with composer/director James Weeks. As a consort singer, Juliet is a member of the soloists of Collegium Vocale Gent, directed by Philippe Herreweghe, and has worked regularly with the BBC Singers, Polyphony, Tenebrae, The King’s Consort, and Monteverdi Choir. In contemporary repertoire, Juliet has appeared as a soloist with the CBSO, the London Sinfonietta, Plus Minus Ensemble, Endymion, Ensemble Modern and Ensemble Intercontemporain. Solo recordings include Larry Goves’ Springtime released in 2009 on the London Sinfonietta’s own label, and songs by Peter Wiegold released in 2010 on NMC.

“Joining the Choir gave me a new musical focus of the highest order”
“I joined Clare Choir in my fourth year at Cambridge. I was actually at Selwyn but by that year was living out of College and reinventing myself as a singer. Joining the Choir gave me a new musical focus of the highest order, extraordinary performance opportunities (including several international tours under the batons of conductors such René Jacobs, Ivor Bolton and Nicholas Kraemer), and a barrel-load of misguided antics! There’s no doubt that my career as a singer grew out of that year at Clare.”
