Héloïse Houzé

Back
Violist

Born in 2001, Héloïse graduated from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSMDP) with highest honors in 2022, and completed her postgraduate (third-cycle) diploma in 2024 under the guidance of Jean Sulem.

She has received several prizes, including the Prize of the City of Saint-Jean-de-Luz at the Ravel Academy in 2022. She has also earned distinctions in international viola competitions, notably Second Prize and the Audience Prize at the Oskar Nedbal Competition in Prague in 2023, as well as the Förderpreis at the Anton Rubinstein Competition in Düsseldorf. She reached the semifinals of the Prague Spring Competition (2023) and the Brahms Competition (2024).

Selected to take part in several prestigious international summer academies, she was notably admitted to the Verbier Academy (2024) and the Perlman Music Program.

As a soloist with orchestra and as a chamber musician, Héloïse performs on international stages. In 2024, she worked with several composers, including Esa-Pekka Salonen in Paris and Sir George Benjamin on his piece Viola, Viola, for a concert broadcast on France Musique at the Ravel Festival.

She currently plays a 1766 Michele Deconet viola and uses a bow made by Klaus Grünke, generously loaned by the Boubo Music Foundation.

Her debut album will be recorded in March 2025 for the Mirare label, made possible with the support of Patrick Petit.

Since September 2023, Héloïse has been an Artist in Residence at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, where she studies under Miguel da Silva.
