SAXOPHONE sensation Jess Gillam heads for the Royal Albert Hall this weekend joining the illustrious line-up for Saturday night's Last Night of the Proms spectacular. The gifted Ulverston instrumentalist received a Classic Brit Award at the Royal Albert Hall in June and returns to the venue as the youngest ever female soloist to perform at the prestigious proms.
Sir Andrew Davis, the much-loved former chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, is also back at the Royal Albert Hall to conduct what is regarded as the greatest annual party in classical music.
The popular nautical theme of traditional favourites by Henry Wood and Thomas Arne is extended in Stanford’s Songs of the Sea, featuring star Canadian baritone Gerald Finley.
