After performing at the prestigious Last Night of the Proms in 2018 and having her performance described as “the indisputable highlight” by BBC News, the renowned saxophonist Jess Gillam MBE continues to grow her international career as well as presenting on TV and Radio. She is the first saxophonist ever to have reached the final of the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition and she has won a Classic Brit Award.
