HELEN GILLETA Whirling Dervish of the CelloOne of the most unique, talented, and beloved New Orleans artists, cellist Helen Gillet is known for her eclectic palette, which includes avant-garde jazz, French chansons, funk, alternative rock even the bohemian flair of the Velvet Underground.

Composer, vocalist (Belgian French & English), and looping artist, Gillet's career has won her awards of Offbeat Best of the Beat, Gambit Big Easy Awards, featured artist at the New Orleans Jazz Museum, and has been nominated three times, most recently in 2023, as a rising star in Downbeat Magazine's Critics Poll.

Over the years, working in New Orleans with musicians of all stripes, from avant-garde jazz and classical to pop and funk, Gillet has developed a singular polyglot style. Gillet's solo performance is known for its enigmatic quality as she fabricates each song with innovative use of the cello and true mastery of live looping technology.
