The programme includes two works featuring Jess Gillam as soloist, showcasing the versatility and expressive range of the saxophone, alongside Barbican Snapshots.
Directed by John Harle, Barbican Snapshots celebrates the Barbican’s bold, utopian design through an immersive programme of music and video created for saxophonists, composers, electronic musicians and videographers.
