16 year old Siobhan Owen was born in Wales with Welsh and Irish heritage. Classically trained, Siobhan also turns her haunting soprano voice and delicate harp playing to a repertoire of traditional Celtic songs. At a young age she has already recorded two albums, won classical and folk performer awards and has played at many major festivals and concerts. A truly enchanting act!

Early Start

Siobhan has been singing since she was very young. At 9 years of age she gave her first major solo performance in a "Riverdance" style show called "Shades of Green" which toured South Australia. She recorded her first CD "With Love From Siobhan" at the age of 10 as a gift for family and friends.  When Siobhan was 12 she gave her first major solo performance at the Adelaide Festival Theatre, singing the beautiful “My Lagan Love”. Siobhan has been a winner of many local Eisteddfods and competitions since her first Eisteddfod in 2003.

Celtic Music

Siobhan has given performances of Celtic songs at many venues, including the following festivals:

• Adelaide Fringe Festival (SA)
• Port Celtica Festival (SA)
• Kapunda Celtic Festival (SA)
• Fleurieu Folk Festival (SA)
• National Folk Festival (ACT)
• Australian Celtic Festival (NSW)

Siobhan was voted "Most Outstanding New or Emerging Artist" in the 2009 South Australian Folk Awards.

The Harp

Siobhan was invited to sing with French singer/harpist Cecile Corbel and her band at the 2008 Adelaide Fringe Festival after they met on Myspace! Singing with Cecile inspired Siobhan to learn to play the harp. After playing for only a year, Siobhan often accompanies her beautiful singing on harp - an ethereal blend!

Classical Music

Over the last couple of years Siobhan has given 4 solo "Lunch Hour Concerts" for Recitals Australia. Her 2009 Recital will include works by Handel, Chaminade, Delius and Fauré. Siobhan plans to study Classical Voice at Adelaide University's Elder Conservatorium.

Sacred and Choral Music (and guest appearances with choirs)

Siobhan is a soloist/chorister with Adelaide's St Francis Xavier Cathedral Choir where she receives a Choral Scholarship. She has also been guest soloist in concerts with the the Graduate Singers, the Metropolitan Male Choir and the Woodville Concert Choir.

Community Performances

Siobhan regularly gives performances at Nursing homes, fundraising events, school concerts etc. She was guest soloist and led community carol singing at Burnside Council's "Carols in the Park" in 2007 and Mitcham Council's "Carols By the Creek" in 2008.  This year she performed at Adelaide's "Fete de la Musiqe".

Theatre

Siobhan has performed in two Youth Operas with the State Opera of South Australia and in many Musical Theatre productions around Adelaide.
