Juliet Wolff - Voices Within

Selected for the second consecutive year for the MusikerZukunft Award by the Deutsche Orchester-Stiftung. 

With Voices Within, cellist, vocalist, and composer Juliet Wolff explores the liminal space between instrumental sound and voice, gently dissolving their boundaries.

Prizewinner at international competitions and trained at The Juilliard School in New York and the HfM Hanns Eisler Berlin, where she completed both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees with distinction, Wolff combines technical command with an emotionally direct stage presence that has become her signature.

In the atmospheric setting of Kühlhaus Kubus, she invites the audience on a musical journey that ranges from intimate, meditative soundscapes through the late-Romantic and 21st-century classical tradition, and further into raw, immediate, and unfiltered forms of expression.

Alongside works by György Ligeti (1923–2006), Pēteris Vasks (b. 1946), Guillaume Connesson and rediscovered female composer Rosy Wertheim (1888–1949), the program features a newly commissioned work for singing cellist and vocal ensemble by Michaela Rea Catranis, written especially for Voices Within 2026, as well as music that deliberately expands beyond the classical tradition, including a piece by Sicilian cellist Giovanni Sollima, and works by Juliet for singing cellist and electronics, among them a new and original composition in this medium and an arrangement of the song “Pearls” by Sade.

The evening doesn’t end there:

A post-concert conversation with the artists invites questions from the audience and provides exclusive insight and then continues in an informal setting with a DJ set, drinks, and space for connection.
