JESS GILLAM

The saxophone as you have never heard it before, as star performer and broadcaster Jess Gillam and her superb Ensemble celebrate the dynamism and emotional power of one of the world’s most versatile instruments. Although rooted in classical music, Jess’s programme offers an expansive exploration of a massive range of genres – from the groove of Michael Nyman and Corelli, to barnstorming tunes by the Danish String Quartet and and the soaring beauty of Debussy.

With her 7-piece band, her treasured soprano and alto saxophones and her passion for connecting to audiences, Jess’s programme pulls on the common threads found in music spanning centuries to deliver a high octane evening that will leave you beaming from ear to ear.
