Jess Gillam is a celebrated saxophonist and presenter. With her electrifying performances, vibrant stage presence and magnetic personality, the ‘uniquely mercurial’ (The Times) Jess has been invited to play on the world’s major stages since becoming the youngest ever soloist to perform at the Last Night of the Proms.Along with her long-time collaborators pianist Zeynep Özsuca and bassist Sam Becker, Jess Gillam, weaves a programme of fantastic lesser known repertoire with fresh takes on some firm favourites.
From Jazz influences with music by composers such Phil Woods, Sidney Bechet, Barbara Thompson and Rudy Weideoft to Baroque energy from Corelli to joyous Gershwin and shades of folk, this programme has something for everyone to enjoy.
Jess will be giving a free masterclass for local young saxophone players in the area earlier in the day, which members of the public can observe for free.
