About the Event

Travel back in time with extremely talented artists as they perform the classical music treasure A Little Night Music among other works by Mozart and Vivaldi in the sumptuous Saint‐Germain des Prés Church in Paris.

Youth, ambition, eclecticism: the mission of the Hélios orchestra is the professional integration of young musicians through orchestral practice.
An associative orchestra, created by the will of its artistic director, Paul Savalle, it allows young graduates, or those in the process of becoming graduates, to perfect their skills
with experienced orchestral musicians and conductors, in optimal working conditions.
Violin:
Founded in 2014, the Helios orchestra has gradually established itself in the French orchestral landscape. It offers a great diversity of programs, ranging from
baroque music to contemporary music. Its repertoire is both symphonic and choral, thanks to the involvement of local choirs.
The orchestra attaches great importance to this network: the association of the orchestra and the departmental and regional choirs is
indispensable in its artistic approach. The collaboration of different conductors is also an essential point of the project which allows the musicians
to approach a rich and varied repertoire as well as to widen their palette of interpretation.

Artists

Orchestra: Orchestre Helios

Established with the aim of forging links between graduating students and professional orchestras, the Orchestre Hélios has gone from strength to strength in the ten years since its 2014 launch. The brainchild of artistic director, Paul Savalle, the orchestra is unusual in its commitment to collaborating with local and regional choral ensembles, expanding its repertoire, which already stretches from the Baroque to the Contemporary, to include major vocal works. The orchestra's musicians are graduates and senior students at France's leading conservatoires, and several also play with national orchestras. A roster of distinguished guest conductors helps accustom members to different styles and approaches to musical leadership. Performing in some of Paris' most majestic churches, including La Madeleine and Saint Sulpice, on a regular basis, the orchestra is designed in such a way that its forces can scale from full symphony down to string quartet, facilitating access to additional beautiful and unusual spaces, many of which are not usually open to the public.

Violin: Glen Rouxel

The young French violinist won the first prize in the prestigious 'Prix d'Europe' for his vivid and powerful interpretations. In demand as a soloist across Europe, he is also the musical director of the festival Les Détours Métaphoniques (Aveyron). Rouxel is a regular guest with France's finest orchestras and increasingly in demand internationally as well. He has already performed as a soloist at the Philharmonie de Paris and Moscow's Tchaikovsky Hall, among other prestigious venues.
