Jess Gillam with... Lloyd Coleman

Jess Gillam and Lloyd Coleman share a sabre dance, a 'modern classic' by Anna Meredith, the finale of Sibelius's Fifth Symphony and music by Kraftwerk.

Jess Gillam is joined by Lloyd Coleman, composer, clarinettist and associate music director of the British Paraorchestra. Their musical choices include a sabre dance, sounds of the sea from Debussy, a 'modern classic' by Anna Meredith, the glorious finale of Sibelius's Fifth Symphony and Kraftwerk.

From musical beginnings in a carnival band, to being the first ever saxophone finalist in 91热爆 Young Musician, and appearances at the Last Night of the Proms in 2018 and at this year鈥檚 Bafta awards, Jess is one of today鈥檚 most engaging and charismatic classical performers. Each week on This Classical Life, Jess will be joined by young musicians to swap tracks and share musical discoveries across a wide range of styles, revealing how music shapes their everyday lives.
