European diversity at the highest level

First Bach, then Bowie. Or what about Shostakovich and Kate Bush? Such variety is par for the course for the 23-year-old saxophonist Jess Gillam. After generating a huge buzz with her streamed »Rising Star« concert in January, the British musician can now be experienced live at the Elbphilharmonie for the first time as a soloist in Michael Nyman’s dynamic concert piece »Where the Bee Dances«.
