Ben Glassberg conductor Jess Gillam saxophones An inspiring fixture on radio and TV, Cumbrian-born Jess Gillam is first and foremost a world-class saxophonist. She brings her invigorating musical personality to a typically adventurous collection of music across diverse styles and sounds for the last of our New Dimensions concerts. Young British composer Dani Howard wrote her effervescent new Saxophone Concerto specially for Gillam, while Dave Heath throws you into the whirling energy of a raucous ceilidh in his galvanising concerto _The Celtic_. Haydn provides the calmer inspiration for Anna Clyne’s scintillating _Sound and Fury_, written for the SCO in 2019, and also for Caroline Shaw’s mercurial _Entr’acte_. The great African American composer George Walker, meanwhile, regularly moves listeners to tears with his deeply moving _Lyric for Strings_. Ϯ Commissioned by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra
