May 15, 2015 Milo's Music Parlor Comments Off on Helen Gillet – Milo’s Music Parlor – It’s New Orleans

With an international upbringing in far-flung places like Singapore, Belgium, Helen eventually landed in New Orleans where she finished a master’s degree in the cello at UNO. Though classically trained, she quickly found a musical route of her own where she weaves French chansons, avant-guard compositions, and loop pedal symphonies all together. Listen to her tell all on Milo’s Music Parlor including the secrets of hugging a cello, and how her cello and punk music became friends. Better yet, you get to listen to her music.
