Summary
Saxophonist Jess Gillam and CBSO wind players perform at Brindleyplace under conductor Mark Goodchild for an outdoor program featuring soloists Joanna Patton, Oliver Janes, and Mark O’Brien.
Why it's fantastic
The saxophone usually stays in the jazz club, but here four soloists bring its soulful character to the heart of the city for an outdoor symphonic showcase. It is a rare chance to hear star saxophonist Jess Gillam lead a versatile ensemble through a programme that bridges the gap between classical and contemporary.
