More information

Proyecto Hélade was created in 2010 by two saxophonists, who share the same passion and the same commitment to contemporary musical creation. These two soloists, seeking relationships with other artistic disciplines (singers, actors, dancers, painters …) and share an enthusiasm for the interplay of different artistic fields.

“Imágenes Sonoras” is our proposal concert for the World Saxophone Congress Strasbourg 2015.

Humans are visual by nature, our more developed sense is the sight and accompany this dominant aspect of music for the image, it causing that our understanding and perception of the performance will be wider.
This concert will run playing with the interaction between music, video and electro to create a concert-performance, where the living space resources will be exploited during the musical action.
