BEHIND THE MUSIC
Crossing Stage and Screen
"...the delightful soprano voice of Elspeth Bawden...spun music that enthralled all." - ClassikOn
Australian based soprano, Elspeth Bawden, is an accomplished young singer whose vocal prowess spans stage and screen. Her versatility is clearly shown in the variance of her work; not only has she been a guest soloist for performances with ensembles such as the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Melbourne Baroque Orchestra, she has also curated her own Musical Theatre Cabaret Performances and remotely recorded for anime, video game, and movie soundtracks. Featured vocal performances include anime titles such as Kadokawa's Made in Abyss and Rising of the Shield Hero, Netflix's Eden, and a guest performance for Crunchyroll Expo 2021. With video game titles including Sega's Sin Chronicle.
Her wealth of experience also continues in the world of choral, chamber and small ensemble music, having toured both nationally and internationally as a chorister and soloist with the Australian Chamber Choir, performed locally with groups such as the Melbourne Octet and Vox Plexus, and assisted in curating and directing small ensembles for anime OSTs.
