Jess Gillam is a celebrated saxophonist and presenter. With her electrifying performances, vibrant stage presence and magnetic personality, 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. Equally at home behind the microphone, Jess’s award-winning weekly BBC Radio 3 show, This Classical Life, is now in its seventh season. For the final concert of this year’s Festival, Jess will be joined by her band, the Jess Gillam Ensemble. Since their formation in 2020, the Ensemble has performed throughout the UK and Europe to multiple sold-out audiences. Their bold, uplifting and open-minded approach is rooted in classical music but takes inspiration from different musical worlds. Not to be missed!
