Jess Gillam Ensemble

Acclaimed saxophonist Jess Gillam is joined by a small ensemble comprising musicians from a wide range of musical backgrounds but all with roots in classical music. The Jess Gillam Ensemble includes Ciaran McCabe & Michael Jones (violins); Eoin Schmidt-Martin (viola); Gabriella Swallow (cello); Sam Becker (bass); Elsa Bradley (percussion) and Leif Kaner-Lidstrom (piano).

The Ensemble will explore established works alongside brand new pieces written especially for the group, including music by Will Gregory (Goldfrapp), Piazzolla, Meredith Monk, Kurt Weill, Bjork, Luke Howard, Joby Talbot and more.
