Helen studied singing at the Royal College of Music, London, under the direction of James Lockhart and Marion Studholme. Whilst there she won an Opera Scholarship and on leaving she joined the Glyndebourne Opera Company.

Following this she entered the National Opera Studio in London, during which time she was chosen to represent Wales in the 'Cardiff Singer of the World' competition.

Although having trained as an Opera singer, Helen has become far more well-known for her concert, radio and television performances.

She has performed in most of the major concert halls in the UK with such orchestras as the BBC Welsh Symphony and Bournemouth Symphony.

Such is her success that following concert engagements in Czechoslovakia, with the Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra she was invited back to perform the title role in Bizet's opera 'Carmen'.

Helen has been a soloist with numerous Male Voice Choirs and during overseas visits has performed in prestigious venues in Moscow, Prague, Vancouver, Dublin and Montreux.
