Around The Sun: Helios X Sun Rings

Junction Goole and Goole Town Council present Helios X Sun Rings, performed by Phaedra Ensemble and the Goole 200 Community Choir, with Music In The Round.

Experience an unforgettable evening melding classical music for string quartet and choir with electronic sounds from outer space, against the backdrop of Luke Jerram’s stunning Helios installation.

The evening wil feature the Goole 200 Community Choir, a group of singers specially brought together by Music in the Round and Junction for this unique performance, inspired by the wonder of Helios and in celebration of Goole’s 200th anniversary year.

Phaedra Ensemble is a London-based collective pushing the boundaries of contemporary chamber music in bold and imaginative ways. Known for innovative performances, they curate cutting-edge new works alongside modern classics from the last hundred years.

This free event is part of Junction’s 2026/27 Classical Music Series with Music in the Round. Sun Rings by Terry Riley was originally commissioned by NASA’s art programme, with the ground-breaking leading contemporary Kronos Quartet. The concert will last for around one hour and 45 minutes, including a 25-minute interval. Tickets are free but must be booked in advance from Junction Goole.

This event forms part of the programme of events planned to coincide with the visit to Goole of Helios.
