Following Juliet’s debut at Wigmore Hall, acclaimed music-critic Ateş Orga wrote: “Juliet Wolff‘s Debussy Sonata had spine-tingling passages, the notes arresting and vocal. Her command and overview of the piece, her musicality and accomplishment, was not in doubt.”Most recently Juliet enjoyed recording the world-premiere of “Monologue for Solo Vocalizing Cellist” composed and dedicated to her by Katie Jenkins, a multi award winning Welsh composer currently studying with Matthias Pintscher and Melinda Wagner at The Juilliard School in New York. As the title suggests, the piece involves the performer to sing a substantial vocal part while simultaneously playing virtuosic lines on the cello.At the start of 2020 Juliet successfully demonstrated her talent at the International ESO Young Soloist Competition, where she was awarded both 1st prize and audience vote. In 2017 she was awarded the Jellinek Award at the Una Clark Young Artists Competition and in 2015 she was awarded the Marlow Young Musician of the Year prize.A committed chamber musician, Juliet is the cellist of the Mixis Quartet.

Juliet received her first cello lessons at the age of five with Erik Richter at the Feuermann Conservatory of the Kronberg Academy. Only ten years old, she was accepted into Prof. Gunda Altmann’s class at the specialist music-school Sächsisches Landesgymnasium für Musik Carl Maria von Weber in Dresden, and from 2012 Juliet studied with Prof. Geneviève Tullières - Sommer at the Junior Guildhall School for Music and Drama in London.
