SUMMER NIGHTS: JESS GILLAM ENSEMBLE
Friday 7th July 2023, 8:00pm
An explosive start to Summer Nights 2023, as superstar saxophonist and presenter Jess Gillam takes to the stage.
Jess shot to fame as the first saxophonist to reach the finals of BBC Young Musician, and the youngest ever soloist to perform at the Last Night of the Proms. She is the first ever saxophonist to be signed exclusively to Decca Classics, with both her albums reaching No 1 in the UK Classical Music Charts. Now also one of the brightest and most engaging voices on BBC Radio 3, her award-winning weekly show This Classical Life is now in its third year.
Jess is passionate about inspiring and bringing joy to people through music. Tonight, she performs with her ensemble. This group of brilliant musicians come from a wide range of musical backgrounds but all have roots in classical music. Join us for a journey of musical discovery, with a programme that includes a CPE Bach Flute concerto, John Metcalfe’s arrangement of Sakamoto’s Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, Histoire du Tango by Piazzolla and John Harle’s exhilarating work Flare.
