The ensemble is at home in nightclubs and on the concert stage from a residency at Los Angeles's venerable Silverlake Lounge to performances for the West Michigan and Pacific Symphonies. Helix "has a little something for everyone: those who like their classics straight up, with a contemporary edge to it, or with populist appeal" (Audiophile Audition Magazine). Called "dizzyingly virtuosic with exquisite musicianship and world-class range" by The Free Times and praised for their "beyond-the-ordinary programming," the flexible ensemble has a core instrumentation of flute, oboe, piano and percussion, and expands to a small chamber orchestra.

The GIRSKY QUARTET was formed in 2012 when ARTUR GIRSKY and NATASHA BAZHANOV (Seattle Symphony violinists), JULIE WHITTON (Seattle Symphony violist), and ROWENA HAMMILL (Los Angeles Opera cellist) performed Shostakovich String Quartet No.1 at Club Shostakovich in Seattle. Since then, the quartet has explored more Shostakovich quartets, as well as works by Beethoven, Schubert, Bartók, Prokofiev and Mendelssohn. Beginning in the 2015-16 season they embarked on the Vashon Beethoven Quartet Project, a chronological presentation of all the Beethoven masterworks in a lecture-recital format. In 2017, violist TIMOTHY CHRISTIE joined the group. The quartet is the resident ensemble for Vashon Chamber Music, the Bellingham Chamber Music Society, and in 2019, was guest quartet at the Walla Walla Music Festival.
