This Classical Life: Live returns! Jess Gillam brings her ARIA-winning 成人快手 Radio 3 show and podcast to London鈥檚 Alexandra Palace Theatre for a live event with the 成人快手 Concert Orchestra. Radio presenter and saxophonist Jess Gillam invites four guests to join her on stage, share in the listening party and to chat about their influences and the music they love.
Jess鈥檚 guests are musician/singer-songwriter鈥疉lexis Taylor, best known as lead vocalist and keyboardist of the influential synthpop band, Hot Chip, and for his stunning introspective solo albums; internationally acclaimed trumpeter and former Radio 3 New Generation Artist, Simon H枚fele; one of the UK鈥檚 most exciting singers on the contemporary classical scene, soprano Ella Taylor; and award-winning composer, arranger and saxophonist, Cassie Kinoshi.
Jess is passionate about inspiring and bringing joy to people through music and believes that good music is good music regardless of the genre or label. On her 成人快手 Radio 3 show, audiences may hear The Prodigy next to Prokofiev, Hildegard von Bingen next to Bj枚rk, Mendelssohn next to Michael Kiwanuka.
But there is one thing all the sounds have in common: an ability to move us, transport us and connect us with alternative realities.

The concert will be c. 1 hour 20 minutes, no interval.
