Jess Gillam (pictured) has been described as a musical force of nature, and it’s easy to understand why. Routinely blending electrifying performances with eclectic programming, the 26-year-old musician shot to stardom when she became the first saxophonist to reach the finals of the BBC Young Musician contest, and the youngest-ever soloist to perform at the Last Night of the Proms. 
Jess here plays her part in a festive-season concert that also features the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the CBSO Chorus, Youth Chorus, Children’s Chorus (on the Friday) and CBSO SO Vocal (on the Thursday). Simon Halsey conducts.
