Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle at Eglise Saint‐Germain des prés: Orchestre et Choeur Hélios

Youth, ambition, eclecticism: the Helios orchestra's mission is to integrate young musicians into the world of work through orchestral practice.

As an associative orchestra, created by the will of its artistic director Paul Savalle, it allows young graduates, or those in the process of graduation, to perfect their skills with orchestra musicians and experienced conductors, under optimal working conditions.

Founded in 2014, the Hélios orchestra has gradually established itself in the French orchestral landscape. It offers a wide range of programmes, from baroque to contemporary music. Its repertoire is both symphonic and choral, thanks to the involvement of the local choirs. The orchestra attaches great importance to this network: the association of the orchestra and the departmental and regional choirs is essential in its artistic approach. The collaboration of different conductors is also an essential part of the project, which allows musicians to approach a rich and varied repertoire and broaden their range of performances.

Um dos melhores coros amadores de Paris, o Choeur Helios Ephémère junta‐se à Orchestre Helios para interpretar as maiores obras musicais religiosas em algumas das igrejas mais bonitas e famosas da cidade. Reunindo cantores profissionais e amadores talentosos para projetos especiais, o coro interpreta obras como o Requiem de Verdi ou Mozart, as Paixões de Bach ou a Nona Sinfonia de Beethoven em locais como La Madeleine, Saint Sulpice, Sainte Eustache ou Saint Germain des Prés, atraindo um público informado e apreciador.
