Héloïse Bernard

She performs as a soloist with Spinacino Consort, the Linarol Consort of Viols, The Telling, and is a founding member of Belesama. Described as a 'show-stealer' by BBC Music Magazine for her appearance as Iris on the recording of Eccles' Semele with the Academy of Ancient Music, conducted by Julian Perkins, she's also featured on Linarol Consort's recording Epitaph for a Green Lover to be released in May 2026.
Often accompanied on the lute by Eric Thomas or Alex McCartney, she is praised for her soprano 'full of charm and emotion, asserting a discreetly rhetorical declamation'.
