Jess Gillam at the Princes Theatre Clacton - Friday 5 March 2027, 1pm

Following previous schools concerts at Saffron Hall and Harlow Playhouse we are delighted to bring saxophonist Jess Gillam and her ensemble back to Essex with a new performance for primary schools. This series of concerts will take us on a journey from the time of King Henry VIII through to the modern day – via pieces by Mozart, Duke Ellington and others – on the way exploring the Interrelated Dimensions of Music, and featuring lots of opportunities for participation.

Jess Gillam is a Brit Award-winning saxophonist whose first two albums both reached No. 1 in the UK Classical Music Charts. With The Jess Gillam Ensemble she has formed a band which includes Strings, piano and percussion and performs music ranging from Bach to Bjork and Bowie. Jess is passionate about music education and the role of music in society.
