"Music is not only
something to hear —
it is something to feel."

Elia Helayel

§ 01 — The Artist

STRINGS
& SOUL Lebanese Violinist · Beirut

Elia Helayel's musical journey began in 2008, shaped by years of rigorous classical training at the Antonine Music Conservatory in Lebanon under distinguished teachers — Mme. Lubna Lakkis, Mr. Garik Gasparyan, Mme. Suzanna Balasanyan, and Mme. Rouzanna Pandjarian — where he earned his Baccalaureate Diploma in Violin.

Since 2016, Elia has been teaching violin to students of all ages and levels, combining strong classical foundations with the traditions of the Russian school alongside the Suzuki and Kodály methods. Since 2018, he performs professionally at weddings, luxury events, and private concerts across Lebanon, blending classical elegance with contemporary repertoire.
