Helen Steel

As the Development Manager with Vox Anima London, Helen combines her love of choral singing with her professional skills as a communications and event management professional.

Helen has been part of the Vox Anima London team since 2022, focussed on establishing connections and relationships with choirs across the US, Europe, and beyond, and supporting the team to deliver high-quality musical experiences for participants and audiences.

Helen’s passion for music was fostered during her teenage years within the Kent Music system. She was an inaugural member of the Kent County Junior Choir and later the Kent Youth Singers, and at the age of 11 was fortunate enough to perform in Notre Dame Cathedral with the choir. She now sings with the Vox Anima Chamber Choir under the direction of Dr James Meaders and assists with managing the choir’s social media channels. 

Helen is an accomplished amateur instrumentalist and was the leader of the Kent Youth Wind Orchestra and, more recently, the award-winning Maidstone Wind Symphony. As a clarinettist she has been fortunate to tour with amateur orchestras to Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Italy.

Helen graduated from the University of Birmingham (BA French & German), before training as a journalist. She spent several years as a local newspaper reporter and news editor before moving to a sports communications, engagement, and events role linked to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
