Jess Gillam, saxophone
Jaume Santonja Espinós, conductor

At just 17, Jess Gillam was the first saxophonist ever to reach the finals of BBC Young Musician – and she just keeps getting better. Today, she’s the star in Villa-Lobos’ flamboyant concerto and Milhaud’s tuneful miniature, as Jaume Santonja Espinós takes us from the dancehalls of Cuba to Copland’s leafy Appalachian mountains, on a pan-American roadtrip bursting with big tunes and even bigger personalities.

  • Gershwin Cuban Overture
  • Villa-Lobos Fantasia for Saxophone
  • Copland Danzón Cubano
  • Milhaud Scaramouche
  • Copland Appalachian Spring Suite
  • Barber Symphony No.1
