Jess Gillam with... Adam Szabo

Jess and Adam share music by Shostakovich and Debussy, 16th century music for recorder and David Bowie.

Jess Gillam is joined by Adam Szabo, Co-Founder and Managing Director of the innovative Manchester Collective. Their musical choices include a Shostakovich waltz, joyful β€˜sunshine’ recorder music by 16th century Spanish composer Diego Ortiz, piano music by Debussy, GoreΓ§ki’s Symphony of Sorrowful Songs and their shared love, David Bowie.

From musical beginnings in a carnival band, to being the first ever saxophone finalist in ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Young Musician, and appearances at the Last Night of the Proms in 2018 and at this year’s BAFTA awards, Jess is one of today’s most engaging and charismatic classical performers. Each week on This Classical Life, Jess will be joined by young musicians 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 ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds.
