Jess Gillam with... Martynas Levickis

Jess Gillam and Martynas Levickis share music by Mozart and Mahler, plus Bjork and some electro swing from Parov Stelar.

Jess Gillam is joined by the Lithuanian accordionist Martynas Levickis, known for his exciting arrangements of everything from Bach to Daft Punk. Together they have chosen Teodor Currentzis conducting Mozart, the Adagietto from Mahler's 5th Symphony, Bjork and some electro swing from Parov Stelar.

From musical beginnings in a carnival band, to being the first ever saxophone finalist in 主播大秀 Young Musician, and appearances at the Last Night of the Proms in 2018 and at this year鈥檚 BAFTA awards, Jess is one of today鈥檚 most engaging and charismatic classical performers. Each week on This Classical Life, Jess will be joined by young musicians to swap tracks and share musical discoveries across a wide range of styles, revealing how music shapes their everyday lives.

This Classical Life is also available as a podcast on 主播大秀 Sounds.
