Australian flautist Helen Vidovich is an orchestral and chamber musician. Career highlights include performances at the Sydney Opera House and Royal Albert Hall, and work with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.

She received an Australian Bicentennial Scholarship from King’s College London to assist her postgraduate studies in London.

A passionate chamber musician, Helen founded the Marsyas Trio in 2009 and has since dedicated herself to the discovery and promotion of the repertoire for the flute-cello- piano trio. With a wide breadth of music that ranges from historical women composers to experimental music with electronics, a decade of work has seen the ensemble collaborate with many of the UK’s leading composers, including Michael Finnissy, Judith Weir, Elena Firsova and Laura Bowler. The trio’s work has been supported by Arts Council England, the RVW Trust, PRS and Britten-Pears Foundations, among others. Concert highlights with the trio include international touring and live TV and Radio, including BBC Radio 3 and Switzerland’s RTS Espace2. Helen’s discography with the trio includes A Triple Portrait (Meridian Records 2015), and In the Theatre of Air (NMC Recordings, 2018), which debuted at No. 7 on the classical charts. The disc received international airplay and reviews in The Strad, Tempo, the Sunday Times, BBC Music Magazine and Gramophone. An upcoming CD with the Metier label is planned for release in 2023.

Helen looks forward to developing new projects with her trio at Churchill College this academic year.
