Helen Becqué

Belgian pianist Helen Becqué gave her European début at the age of nine, performing a solo recital in a benefit concert for cancer awareness. At 11 she was a Finalist in the National Piano Competition of Liège (‘André Modeste Grétry’), Belgium, and at 15 she won first prize in the Geraardsbergen Piano Competition for Young Musicians. But since her childhood and subsequent studies, it is her consistently thoughtful, emotionally-committed and technically scintillating performances which have made her an increasingly sought-after young artist in Europe and in North America.

Helen credits growing up in a ‘polyglot’ environment as vital to her strong background in languages. This, in combination with her love of song, the human voice, and the piano has proven thus far an enormous catalyst in the success of her career. Helen is delighted to have had the opportunities she has, and looks forward to much more beautiful music-making in the future.
