Lotte Betts-Dean sings works for solo amplified voice with electronics, from groundbreaking 20th-century works by Scelsi, Feldman and Schwitters to 21st-century pieces that draw on medieval plainchant, experimental hip-hop and breakcore, including works by Mathis Saunier, Stuart MacRae, Linda Buckley and Erin Gee. Receiving its highly-charged début at the Aldeburgh Festival last year, Voice Electric is in part a tribute to Lotte’s lifelong fascination with electronic music, as well as a reflection and celebration of the medium of solo voice and fixed electronic audio in modern composition.

Australian mezzo soprano Lotte Betts-Dean is a versatile and dynamic concert artist, whose performance experience encompasses opera, oratorio, contemporary music, art song recital/chamber music, early music and non-classical collaborations. She has been based in London since 2014 and works internationally, most often in the UK and Australia.
