Summary
Alpesh Chauhan conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall, featuring saxophonist Jess Gillam in Anna Clyne’s Glasslands alongside orchestral works by Janáček and Dvořák.
Why it's fantastic
Saxophonist Jess Gillam brings a spotlight to her versatile instrument, shifting the orchestral palette before the mood turns towards Dvořák’s stormy, folk-inspired melodies. It is a programme of intense storytelling that balances technical fireworks with the kind of deep, rhythmic energy that makes a two-hour concert fly by.
