Summary
Singer and pianist Joe Stilgoe joins the BBC Concert Orchestra and conductor Fiona Monbet at Alexandra Palace for a symphonic jazz programme featuring clarinetist Giacomo Smith.
Why it's fantastic
Watch the grandeur of a symphony orchestra dissolve into the smoky, intimate energy of a legendary jazz lounge. Singer and pianist Joe Stilgoe leads this late-night transformation, blending virtuosic clarinet solos with a heavy-swinging rhythm section to prove that classical precision and big-band heat belong on the same stage.
