Jess Gillam Trio - Spiegeltent

Jess Gillam is a celebrated saxophonist. 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 at the Royal Albert Hall.

She has been the recipient of a Classic BRIT Award, a Times Breakthrough Award nominee and was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list 2021 for Services to Music. Her award-winning weekly show, This Classical Life, on BBC Radio 3 is now in its seventh season.

We’re delighted to welcome Jess and her trio to Harrogate with a programme interspersing lesser-known repertoire with fresh takes on some firm favourites.

From Jazz influences with music by composers such Phil Woods, Sidney Bechet and Barbara Thompson, to Baroque energy from Corelli and Telemann, to some joyous Gershwin and shades of folk, this programme has something for everyone to enjoy and truly shows off the talent of one of the UK’s foremost musicians.

Standard tickets give you access to unreserved seating. Booths include entry for 6 people to the event, includes a bottle of fizz, and guarantees your space for the evening.

Captivating. Vivacious. Inspiring.
