Jess Gillam plays Glasslands

Christoph König and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales perform Ravel, Farrenc, and Shostakovich's 9th Symphony. Jess Gillam joins them as saxophonist in Anna Clyne's Glasslands.

Christoph König and the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales return to Aberystwyth on their bi-annual tour of Wales. They present a programme which includes Ravel, Farrenc and Shostakovich's 9th Symphony. Jess Gillam joins them as saxophonist in Anna Clyne's Glasslands. Glasslands conjures an imaginary world of three realms governed by the banshee - a female spirit who, in Irish folklore, heralds the death of a family member, usually by wailing, shrieking, or keening in the silence of the night.
