About this Event

L.A. Stories brings together local poets, writers, composers, and musicians to celebrate the beauty and diversity of Los Angeles. This music and storytelling show from Helix Collective creates vignettes within the city about surviving and thriving in L.A. We all share this city but it looks different from every vantage point.

Helix Collective’s musicians including flutist Sarah Robinson, oboist Phil Popham, pianist Kathryn Eames, and percussionist performing on marimba Tyler Stell narrate and perform this set of musical stories. These include poetry and stories from local authors as well as a collection of letters from the early 20th Century Los Angeles. These are set to music by composers writing original music for the project.

This performance is made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment. The performance will take place at the Glorya Kaufman Community Center at the Wende Museum.

Free parking is available in the city lots adjacent to the museum.

ABOUT HELIX COLLECTIVE

Helix Collective are classical musicians busting out of the traditional mold. From crossover dance music, to storytelling, to film, television, and video game music, the Los Angeles-based ensemble takes the best of classical chamber music and makes it the life of the party.

Variety Magazine praised Helix Collective’s musical range moving from “moody urgency and edgy chamber-music sound” to the “sweetly romantic evoking wide-open spaces.”

Helix “has a little something for everyone: those who like their classics straight up, with a contemporary edge to it, or with populist appeal.” Called “dizzyingly virtuosic with exquisite musicianship and world-class range” by The Free Times and praised for “beyond-the-ordinary programming.”

Like the double helix, the ensemble is rearrangeable, flexible, and fuses the DNA of classical music into worlds where it’s never gone before. www.helixcollective.org
