Something of a 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.

We are privileged to welcome Jess and her remarkable ensemble back to Petworth, our audience being promised a journey of musical discovery both through her electrifying performances and eclectic programming.
