Helena Satué

Violinist Helena Satué began studying the violin at the age of five.

She completed her musical training at the Barcelona Conservatory and the Reina Sofía School of Music in Madrid, before continuing her studies at the Conservatoire National de Paris, where she studied with Boris Garlitsky. She later pursued advanced studies at the Geneva Conservatory and at the Hochschule für Musik Köln, where from 2009 she studied with Professor Mihaela Martin, obtaining her Master’s degree in 2011.

Regarded as part of the elite of young Spanish musicians, critics have praised Helena Satué as a violinist of exceptional qualities, highlighting her absolute command and virtuosity of the instrument, as well as her refined, elegant, and highly accomplished technique.

She won her first competition at the age of twelve, followed by numerous prizes and distinctions in national and international competitions. Her artistic activity spans a wide range of performances as an orchestral musician, chamber musician, and soloist.

Her chamber music training has been shaped through work with distinguished musicians such as Hatto Beyerle, Johannes Meissl, members of the Belcea Quartet, members of the Casals Quartet, Patrick Jüdt, and Rainer Schmidt, contributing decisively to her artistic development in this field.

Helena began her pedagogical career as an assistant to violin professor Keiko Wataya at the Basque National Conservatory of Music (Musikene). In 2011, she was appointed Professor of Violin at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (ESMUC).

Since 2014, Helena Satué has been a founding member of the string quartet Cosmos Quartet.

She currently performs on a violin by David Bagué, built in Barcelona in 2019.
