At the age of 11, Helbig-Kostka moved to Redding, where he attended the Redding School of the Arts. It was here that he took center stage and starred in his first opera, “Amahl and the Night Visitors.” His exceptional voice and stage presence caught the attention of many, and it was clear that he was destined for greatness.
Awards and Education
In 2011, Helbig-Kostka was honored with the prestigious North State Symphony Young Artist Award. This recognition catapulted his career to new heights as he performed with the orchestra and the local Masterworks Chorale at Red Bluff’s State Theatre.
Dedicated to his craft, Helbig-Kostka pursued higher education in music. He graduated from California State University-Stanislaus and went on to earn a Master’s Degree from the renowned New England Conservatory in Boston.
