Its artistic director, Paul Savalle, promotes the professional integration of young musicians through orchestral practice. In this way, young graduates mingle with experienced orchestral musicians, conductors and soloists in optimal working conditions.
From baroque to contemporary music, the programmes are varied, the repertoire is both symphonic and choral, with the orchestra working in association with departmental and regional choirs.
Thanks to the collaboration with different conductors, the musicians approach a very rich repertoire by widening their range of interpretation. They all come from the great French conservatories, some of them belonging to a national orchestra.
From the string quartet to the symphony orchestra, including the brass ensemble, the orchestra always widens its audience by modulating its composition. The string ensemble performs in the most prestigious churches in Paris, allowing the public to discover a very rich architectural heritage.
Its variable-geometry formation allows the Hélios Orchestra to approach a very wide repertoire with passionate curiosity.
