About the artist Martin Helmchen

Martin Helmchen was born in Berlin in 1982. He received his first piano lessons at the age of six. From 1993 until graduating from school in 2000 he was a student of Galina Iwanzowa at the Hanns Eisler Academy in Berlin. After 2001, he studied with Arie Vardi at the ‘Hochschule für Musik und Theater’ in Hannover. His career received its first major boost after winning the Clara Haskil Competition in 2001. The Credit Suisse Young Artist Award in 2006 culminated with his debut with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Valery Gergiev at the Lucerne Festival. In the same year he was awarded the ECHO Rising Artist of the Year award with cellist Danjulo Ishizaka for their duo recording for Sony/BMG. He has worked with conductors such as Marek Janowski, Philippe Herreweghe, Marc Albrecht, Vladimir Jurowski, Jiri Kout, Bernhard Klee, and Lawrence Foster. Chamber music is a highly valued part of Martin Helmchen’s life, which he always includes in his performance programme. He regularly gives concerts and recitals with Heinrich Schiff and Danjulo Ishizaka and has partnered Gidon Kremer, Christian Tetzlaff, Isabelle Faust, Daniel Hope, Antje Weithaas, Tabea Zimmermann, Sharon Kam and Lars Vogt.
