Helix! is the resident new music ensemble at Rutgers. A modular group, highly adept and versatile, with a Pierrot ensemble at its core, HELIX! focuses solely on the music of living composers. From solo works to works for 16 players, HELIX! can adapt to the needs of almost any piece. World premieres by Rutgers faculty and students, along with works by leading composers worldwide who are defining new trends in composition are the ensemble’s staple.
