Jess Gillam with... Amy Harman
Jess Gillam and Amy Harman chat about the music they love, from Bernstein's Candide Overture to music by Vivaldi, Miles Davis and Caroline Shaw.
Jess Gillam presents her new show, with the bassoonist Amy Harman, principal bassoon with Aurora Orchestra and English National Opera. Their music ranges from Bernstein's Candide Overture to music by Handel and Vivaldi, some classic Miles Davis and new music by Caroline Shaw.
From musical beginnings in a carnival band, to being the first ever saxophone finalist in 大象传媒 Young Musician, and appearances at the Last Night of the Proms in 2018 and at this year鈥檚 BAFTA awards, Jess is one of today鈥檚 most engaging and charismatic classical performers. Each week on This Classical Life, she is joined by another young musician to swap tracks and share musical discoveries across a wide range of styles, revealing how music shapes their everyday lives.
This Classical Life is also available as a podcast on 大象传媒 Sounds.
