Helios Orchestra Violin Solo: Glen Rouxel Concerto for a Christmas Night by Corelli / Ave Maria by Caccini & Schubert / Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Concerto grosso in G minor, op. 6, no.

8 by Arcangelo Corelli, better known as the Christmas Concerto, was commissioned by Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni and published posthumously in 1714. The concerto bears the inscription Fatto per la notte di Natale (made for Christmas night).

The concerto is written for an ensemble composed of two solo violins and cello, ripieno strings and continuo. Dynamic and eclectic, the Hélios orchestra has established itself since its creation in 2014.

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

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

Thanks to collaboration with various conductors, the musicians approach a very rich repertoire by expanding their interpretation palette. They all come from the great French conservatories, some belonging to a national orchestra.

From string quartet to symphony orchestra, passing through the brass ensemble, the orchestra continues to expand its audience by modulating its composition.

The "strings" formation performs in the most prestigious churches in Paris, which allows the public to discover a very rich architectural heritage. Its variable geometry formation allows the Hélios orchestra to approach a very broad repertoire with passionate curiosity.
