Originally establishing an international career as a clarinettist, Helen studied at Dartington College of Arts, the Royal College of Music and the IHEM in Switzerland. She was personally mentored by the legendary clarinettists Gervase de Peyer and Sydney Fell, and at the age of 22 was appointed principal clarinettist of the Gulbenkian Orchestra. Her performing career has taken her to prestigious venues throughout Europe and the United States, including Lincoln Center in New York, and she has appeared frequently on television and radio.

Alongside her distinguished performing career, Helen’s compositions have gained an increasingly devoted international audience.

Deeply inspired by nature and the natural world, Helen’s music is known for its lyrical warmth, emotional honesty and evocative atmosphere. Her latest project, Found in Love, continues the artistic journey that has become a defining thread throughout her work.
