About Helen
Hailed “a rather special mezzo” (Music Web International), Helen is a young artist increasingly in demand in the UK and abroad.
Helen most recently performed ‘How Do You Keep The Music Playing?’ for SIC - Choir of the Earth in August 2021 to critical acclaim. She has also sung for the choir as part of Fieri Consort on several occasions including Vivaldi Gloria, Mozart Requiem and Elijah.
Winner of the London Handel Competition for 2018, Helen was a founder participant of the Rising Star of the Enlightenment’s programme, working alongside the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment frequently as a soloist. She is a member of Les Arts Florissants Young Artist Programme (Jardin des Voix) for 2021/22 with whom she will sing the role of Rosmira (Handel Partenope) in a tour across Europe.
Helen is a 2018 City Music Foundation Artist. Her much praised Isolation Songbook was commissioned in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic Lockdown, and released on Delphian Records in March 2021.
