Hélène Schmitt is a prize-winning French violinist and a professor of baroque violin in Boulogne-Billancourt.

Schmitt first started out as a chamber musician before specialising in baroque music. She spent 10 years in Bâle, next to Chiara Banchini and Jesper Bøje Christensen. Nowadays, she is very close to Jörg-Andreas Bötticher and Rolf Lislevand with whom she often plays in concert.
