We are delighted to welcome back Jess Gillam for her third appearance at the Budleigh Music Festival.
If her previous performances are anything to go by, you will be entertained, moved and inspired by her totally infectious approach to music making in which anything is possible, and everybody is invited. Jess is joined by her ensemble of musical virtuosos.
The programme includes a nod to the past while looking forward to the future. Excerpts from Bernstein’s timeless classic West Side Story and new arrangements of Bach (both JS and CPE) contrast with recent compositions by Ayanna Witter-Johnson, John Harle and Rune Sørensen of the Danish String Quartet.
This will be the perfect way to relax at the closing concert of the Festival.
