Ulverston saxophonist Jess Gillam returns to The Coro to perform a concert of exciting, wide-ranging music from Bowie to Baroque and Cumbrian-inspired folk to Barbara Thompson’s jazz-infused melodies.

A musical force of nature, Jess Gillam has been forging her own adventurous path since she shot to fame becoming the first saxophonist to reach the finals of BBC Young Musician and the youngest ever soloist to perform at the Last Night of the Proms. 

Passionate about inspiring and bringing joy to people through music, Jess invites audiences on journeys of musical discovery through her electrifying performances and eclectic programming. She is joined in recital by pianist James Baillieu, one of the leading song and chamber music pianists of his generation, described by The Daily Telegraph as being ‘in a class of his own’.
