VOICEBOX 2023-24 – Meet the Artists

VOICEBOX is a brand-new initiative offering a bespoke curriculum for advanced singers specialising (or wanting to specialise) in contemporary vocal performance. The programme has been designed and is led by Juliet Fraser. It is delivered over the course of a year, broken into four intensive residency periods that are hosted by partner organisations around the UK. The curriculum is modular in structure and is delivered by a formidable team of international artists. VOICEBOX provides a unique space for creative development, risk-taking, community-building and professional networking.

Learning and building a sense of community from scratch with other voice artists feels like such an intimate and vulnerable practice. It's exciting to not yet know what will take shape over the next year, but reaching a deeper understanding of us all feels beautifully inevitable; such fertile ground for something nourishing to fruit.
