  Described by two-time Grammy-award winning artist Virginia Kelsey as a “truly stunning voice and a generous performer,” Juliette Frediere is a dynamic singer, dancer, and actress.  Her several years of classical training brought her to the University of the Pacific’s Conservatory of Music, from which she graduated in spring of 2024. Juliette began her vocal training early in high school with baritone Daniel Bishop – who claims that she has “the greatest young instrument I’ve ever heard in all my decades in this industry.”  Meticulously honing her craft in those years allowed her to compete in collegiate-level festivals such as Fresno State’s Second-Annual Art Song Festival in February of 2018. 

Having a deep affinity for the arts from the moment her heart started beating, Juliette began her musical work in ensembles in the third grade and since has sung in choirs for over a decade. Though she was already working in the most advanced choirs her school had to offer and was involved in honors ensembles such as the ACDA Western Division Soprano-Alto Choir as early as in middle school, her best work as a choral singer was under the tutelage of Heather Bishop, choral director of Clovis North High School. Juliette’s dedication to her intense training – simultaneously working in the three best choirs her school’s elite program had to offer – granted her acceptance into dozens of competitive honor choirs at the regional, state, and international level.  She recently received an Outstanding Achievement in music award for UOP’s advanced choral ensemble, the Pacific Singers.

Juliette’s drive for choral music crescendoed with her involvement in the Idyllwild Arts Academy Summer Choral Intensive Program in 2016 and 2017, where she performed great works such as Leonard Bernstein’s “Chichester Psalms” and J.S. Bach’s “Come, Sweet Death.”  Juliette’s work in choirs has taken her to Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House with the 2018 Honors Performance Series International Honor Choirs, the Walt Disney Concert Hall of Los Angeles in 2016, and San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall in 2019 — all before she could vote. 

Outside of classical and choral music, Juliette has performed all her life.  Her background includes thirteen years of dance, three years of membership in the award-winning improv team Constant Interruptions, and performing in shows such as “Anything Goes,” “Mary Poppins,” “The Lion King;”  she most recently played the role of Morgana in G.F. Händel’s Alcina, but also took on the roles of The Witch in Steven Sondheim’s Into the Woods and Lucy in Bertolt Brecht’s The Threepenny Opera during her time with Pacific Opera Theater Company. Juliette has also received training in jazz singing and improvisation from JazzFresno’s Milestones Youth Jazz Workshop in her hometown of Fresno, California. Outside of performing, Juliette is a visual artist, private voice teacher, and collaborates with living composers, working with upcoming artists such as Summi on songs such as “Runnin’ Home” and currently working on projects with composers Miranda Duarte and Ealaph Tabbaa.
