Jess Gillam Key Stage 2 Concert

Following previous schools concerts at Saffron Hall and Harlow Playhouse we are delighted to bring Jess Gillam and her ensemble back to Saffron Hall with a new performance for primary schools. Jess and her ensemble 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. Resources will be provided to schools in advance of the concert to support your preparation.

Join us for this exceptional performance in Saffron Hall on Thursday 10th July 2025 – at 1.30pm. The performance will last c. 60 minutes.

Tickets for the concert are priced at £3.50 per student (accompanying teachers go free), with supporting resources included.
