Dynamic and eclectic, the Helios orchestra has established itself since its creation in 2014.

Its artistic director, Paul Savalle, promotes the professional integration of young musicians through orchestral practice. Thus, recent graduates mix with orchestra musicians, conductors, and experienced soloists under optimal working conditions.

From baroque to contemporary music, the programs are varied; the repertoire is both symphonic and choral, with the orchestra collaborating with departmental and regional choirs.

Through collaboration with various conductors, the musicians explore a rich repertoire, broadening their interpretative palette. They all come from major French conservatories, with some belonging to national orchestras.

From string quartets to symphony orchestras, and including brass ensembles, the orchestra continually expands its audience by varying its composition. The “strings” formation performs in Paris’s most prestigious churches, allowing the public to discover a very rich architectural heritage.

Its variable-geometry formation allows the Helios orchestra to approach a very broad repertoire with passionate curiosity.
