ALDAorchestra
ALDAorchestra…
… is the creation of composer-conductor Helgi R. Ingvarsson and flautist Helen Whitaker. The two split their time between Brighton and Reykjavík and ALDAorchestra is an assembled group of like minded musicians from both the UK and Iceland. With a strong focus on collaboration and exploration, the group size ranges from anywhere between a large chamber orchestra and a duo – whatever serves the artistic call of the project. The name, ALDA, is an Icelandic word meaning “ocean wave”.
“My expectations were surpassed – from start to finish; the music was different and haunting.”
