Performing and teaching artist, sings well with others.
“exquisite top tones”
– South Florida Classical Review
“Charm was also the watchword of the performances, which were strong across the board, from the seven, beautifully blended treble voices in the chorus, to soprano Chelsea Helm’s warm, radiant Belinda”
“Her phrasing is strong, her voice is bright and effortless and she stands fully erect, perfectly still, with even her breathing imperceivable. Yet when she merely opens her mouth, wondrous, dramatic music pours forth seemingly out of nowhere.”
“Soprano soloist Chelsea Helm stole the spotlight moments later with equally impressive vocal chops.”
“...wove vocal lines into a tapestry...”
“...as lovely and controlled a trill as the most agile of coloraturas — and in complete sync with the flute’s trills that accompany her, making for an absolutely hypnotizing moment. It was hard to tell where one instrument began and the voice ended.”
“Soprano Chelsea Helm soared…”
– Washington Classical Review
“Chelsea Helm’s silvery soprano floated above the ensemble in a performance marked by restraint, reverence, and emotional honesty.”
“Chelsea Helm’s gleaming soprano, coloratura facility and nobility of phrasing stood out throughout the performance.”
“Led by the purity of Chelsea Helm’s high soprano with the choir members surrounding the audience, the vignette remains irresistible.”
“Helm truly shined at the [Et Incarnatus], reaching her highest notes with a dramatic force...”
“Belinda, sung beautifully by soprano Chelsea Helm...communicated genuine concern for Dido, a compassionate counterpoint...”
“a bright performance”
“Chelsea Helm got to duet with concertmaster Andrew Fouts on “Laudamus te,” where she demonstrated excellent intonation with an appropriately graceful approach to trills, coloratura, and ornamentation in general. This was a delightful, special moment between singer and violin.”
