About Helios
Helios seeks to illuminate music of an earlier age in a way that also celebrates the aesthetic sensibilities of today. Early music does not belong in the dustbin of history, nor does it belong on a pedestal. It belongs in the light of our every day to exalt us. We do not seek to recreate the past, but rather to create an experience which connects us all.
We celebrate the triumph of composers whose innovations paved the way for music as we now know it. We celebrate the greatness of the marginalized and underrepresented composers whose female, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Jewish, and non-Judeo-Christian voices have been neglected through the centuries. The fire that fuels Helios is the celebration of early music which has the power to transform and transport humankind. All of this is brought to the world by accomplished and dedicated artists who are equal partners in all aspects of artistic direction and share a love of early music.
