Known for her red organ shoes, Amelie Held recently debuted at some of Germany’s major cathedrals and concert halls, such as the Konzerthaus Dortmund, the Philharmonie Essen and the international Speyer cathedral recital series. Her solo concert activities include performances in the world’s most important music centers, such as Milan, Paris, Zurich, London, Boston, New York and St. Petersburg (Mariinsky Concert Hall).

Raised in Munich, Germany, Amelie released her debut album in 2019. She has won several prizes at international organ competitions and was one of the youngest finalists of the prestigious French Concours International de Chartres (2018).

She has a broad repertoire, both as a soloist and with orchestra and chamber ensemble, ranging from early music to contemporary compositions as well as her own transcriptions. Miss Held studied organ, piano and violin from a young age and went on to study violin and organ at the University of Music Detmold, Germany and the National Conservatory of Music
and Dance in Paris, France (B.A. in both majors). Her teachers there included Martin Sander, Michel Bouvard and Olivier Latry. She completed her master's degrees with top marks at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart where she studied organ with Ludger Lohmann and both harpsichord and organ in the field of early music with Lorenzo Ghielmi
in Milan, Italy. Currently living in New York City, she is pursuing her Artist Diploma studies at The Juilliard School with Paul Jacobs.

In addition to music, Amelie is passionate about literature and speaks four languages.
