Héloïse Werner

French-born soprano and composer Héloïse Werner is currently an Associate Artist at Wigmore Hall and is ‘quickly becoming a latter-day Cathy Berberian or Meredith Monk’ (Richard Morrison, The Times). Her debut album ‘Phrases’ was released in 2022 on Delphian Records, and quickly garnered widespread critical acclaim, including Sunday Times’ 10 Best Classical Records of 2022, Gramophone Magazine’s Editor’s Choice (“extraordinary range, tone and vocal abilities… composer of subtle imagination”), BBC Music Magazine’s Choral/Song Choice (*****), The Times’ Classical album of the week (****). Héloïse’s anticipated follow-up ‘close-ups’ was released in June 2024, and launched at the Southbank Centre. As a composer, Werner has written for the CBSO, Aurora Orchestra, Maîtrise de Radio France, London Handel Festival, OAE, NYCBG, Lawrence Power, Mishka Rushdie-Momen, Helen Charlston and more, and has commissions in the pipeline for Manchester Collective, St Paul’s Cathedral, BBC Singers and Royal Northern Sinfonia amongst others. As a soprano, Héloïse has performed with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Grange Festival, CBSO and Nash Ensemble. Of her solo opera The Other Side of the Sea, The Times said “you can’t help but be dazzled by it…” Héloïse is a founding member of contemporary quartet The Hermes Experiment. Winners of the Young Artist Award at the RPS Awards 2021, they have released two albums HERE WE ARE and SONG on Delphian Records, both to critical acclaim.
