The Hélios orchestra, created in 2014, is recognised for its dynamism and eclecticism. Under the artistic direction of Paul Savalle, it focuses on the professional integration of young musicians through orchestral practice. Young graduates join experienced orchestral musicians, conductors and soloists, benefiting from optimal working conditions.
The repertoire of the Hélios orchestra is both varied and vast, ranging from baroque to contemporary music. It encompasses both symphonic and choral works, with regular collaborations with departmental and regional choirs. Collaboration with different conductors gives the musicians the opportunity to explore a very rich repertoire, broadening their range of interpretations.
The members of the Hélios orchestra are all graduates of France's leading conservatoires, some even being members of a national orchestra. The orchestra is made up of a string quartet, a symphony orchestra and a brass ensemble, adapting its composition to appeal to an ever-wider audience.
The orchestra's string section performs in the most prestigious churches in Paris, including La Madeleine, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Saint-Sulpice and Saint-Louis-en-l'Île. This allows audiences to discover not only a varied musical repertoire, but also a rich architectural heritage.
Thanks to its flexible formation, the Hélios orchestra tackles a highly diverse repertoire with passionate curiosity, offering unique musical experiences to its audiences.
