This Classical Life: Live! comes to Alexandra Palace Theatre, and it’s going to be a night packed with music for the curious listener. With special guest performers, violinist Mari Samuelsen and classical bassist/composer Lauri Porra.

Jess Gillam is a saxophone player with a difference: a fearless musical explorer whose BBC Radio 3 show This Classical Life takes the music she loves - and the people who make it - and spreads that love nationwide in an evening of music and conversation.

Now, This Classical Life: Live! returns to Alexandra Palace Theatre, and it’s going to be a night packed with music for the curious listener. If you’re a classical music fan or just at the start of exploring the world of orchestral music, we hope there will be something you’ll fall in love with!

Joining Jess are Norwegian violin sensation Mari Samuelsen and rock meets classical bassist/composer Lauri Porra, plus conductor Anna-Maria Helsing and the full BBC Concert Orchestra. Expect musical passions, good stories and (of course) live music, in a session that’s as likely to include Max Richter and Hannah Peel as Prokofiev and Vivialdi, an evening in which rock meets the baroque.

“Good music is good music” says Jess: and she’ll be sharing it with us this evening.
