Jess Gillam with... Jonathon Heyward

Jess Gillam and Jonathon Heyward share Boulez conducting Stravinsky, an intimate Satie song, plus Stevie Wonder and Madeleine Peyroux.

Jess Gillam is joined by Jonathon Heyward, one of the most exciting conductors of the younger generation who is just completing three years as Assistant Conductor of the HallΓ© Orchestra. They chose Boulez conducting Stravinsky, a Satie song, Stevie Wonder and Madeleine Peyroux.

From musical beginnings in a carnival band, to being the first ever saxophone finalist in Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Sounds.
