More a musical force of nature than a saxophonist, Jess Gillam has taken the music world by storm since her appearance in the BBC Young Musician of the World final in 2016. A classical chart-topping recording artist she is also a presenter on TV and Radio. She became the youngest ever presenter for BBC Radio 3 and hosts her own weekly show This Classical Life in which she talks to musical friends and colleagues about the music that inspires them. A concert with Jess is an infusion of musical adrenaline.

£11.50; no concessions (inc £1.50 booking fee per ticket)
