Princeton University Concerts Presents: Jess Gillam, Saxophone; Thomas Weaver, Piano

With her natural energy, infectious personality and talent to spare, 26-year-old saxophone wonder Jess Gillam was the first saxophonist to reach the finals of BBC Young Musician and the youngest-ever soloist to perform at the Last Night of the Proms. She was also the first solo saxophonist to appear on PUC’s season when she made her jaw-dropping debut on the Performances Up Close series in 2022. She will now be the first-ever saxophonist to appear on the PUC’s mainstage Concert Classics series as she continues to redefine the capabilities of her extraordinary instrument.
