Juliette Pochin – mezzo soprano

Juliette has a varied and successful career as singer, composer, arranger and record producer. She trained at Cambridge and GSMD, graduating with distinction and the highest mark of her year. In 2005 she came to the attention of Sony BMG – and was signed to record her debut album, "Venezia", released in 2006 to critical acclaim. "Venezia" also became Classic FM’s Record Of The Week.

Her operatic and concert career has led her to perform with many orchestras all over the world, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Philharmonia, CBSO and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and she is just as at home on the opera stage as in a pop concert having shared a stage with fellow musicians as wide ranging as Sir Simon Rattle and Meatloaf! As a recitalist Juliette has sung in the Purcell Room, Adrian Boult Hall and the Klavier-Festival Ruhr in Germany working with Graham Johnson and Iain Burnside. She can also be heard on the soundtracks to Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Star Wars and is a regular national anthem singer at Wembley, Twickenham and the Millenium Stadiums. She performed for the UN at their MDG Awards launch in Canada and was the soloist in the BBC Last Night of the Proms with the BBC Philharmonic and a live television link up from Salford in 2009.

In addition to her singing, Juliette is one half of the partnership Morgan Pochin. TV credits include the EMMY/BAFTA award-winning Kumars at No.42 and she wrote and produced Katherine Jenkins’ Brit-nominated No.1 album Premiere. She has orchestrated for groups as wide ranging as Glyndebourne and Fat Boy Slim. She recently produced and arranged the album Songs Without Words for Classic FM which went top 20.

Juliette was nicknamed the Domestic Diva by the Daily Mail after they published her diary, detailing her attempts to juggle her career with her family; her voice inspired renowned chocolatiers Hotel Chocolat to design and name the “Juliette” chocolate. Juliette’s debut solo album is called Venezia and you can also hear her with Ian Burnside on the Vaughan Williams CD - The Sky Shall be our Roof which was the Gramophone Editor’s Choice, the compilations Classical Voices, Classical Greats The Classical Album 2009 and Poetry Serenade by Brian Knowles.
