About Helena

As a child I was fascinated by folksongs and French 'chansonniers'. Renaissance and baroque music became my first real love in the music academy. Opera and lied found a way to my heart through the conservatory. Traditional music never ceased to touch and tempt me. Arabic music crossed my path. This is who I am. This is how I sing.

Helena vormt met pianiste Axelle Kennis een liedduo met een passie voor verhalen. In hun programma 'L'invitation au voyage' nemen ze het publiek mee naar hoopvoller tijden. Met liederen van o.a. Chausson, Massenet, Hahn en Satie roepen ze de sfeer van de Belle Epoque op, een tijdperk vol oneindige mogelijkheden, verfijnde dromen, onbezorgdheid, vrolijkheid en grote ontdekkingen. Ook al zijn vertwijfeling en groeiende onzekerheid over de toekomst nooit ver weg.

In 'Cánticos de la Esposa' gaan Helena en Axelle op zoek naar liefde en geluk. Met aan de basis de liederen van Joaquín Rodrigo. Zijn Spaanse liederen, Sefardische klanken en Arabische invloeden zetten ons in een doolhof van steeds andere sferen. Ze stelden het programma samen als een lange stroom van gedachten, met verdriet, hoop en vleugjes vreugde.
maar ook via beelden herscheppen we voor u een stukje Belle Epoque, een onbezorgd tijdperk vol verfijnde dromen en grote ontdekkingen. Ook al zal u merken dat vertwijfeling en groeiende twijfel over de toekomst ook in deze tijd nooit ver weg is.
