A dynamic career in performance, education, and community work.

Praised by Fox News for a sound that “catches the attention of the room” and by the LA Times for performances that leave audiences “transfixed,” Natalie Helm appears as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestral musician, and educator.

Her work spans the Sarasota Orchestra, recitals throughout the U.K. and U.S. with DuoSkope and Sorella Duo, and community performances through Upward Notes.
