Today Classic BRIT award-winning saxophonist Jess Gillam launches the Jess Gillam Virtual Scratch Orchestra. She is inviting musicians of any standard to come together and play music virtually with her, giving the first performance online on Friday 17 April.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Jess Gillam said: \u2018For me, music is all about people! People uniting, people sharing and people listening. At a very difficult time, when it is not currently possible to be physically together to share and make music, hopefully this is a way in which we can create something together from afar. \u2018Where Are We Now?\u2019 is one of my favourite songs by David Bowie. It\u2019s hauntingly beautiful and seems very appropriate as we all reflect on the world and what is happening around us. This is the first song he released after a long period of silence in 2013.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

The Jess Gillam Virtual Scratch Orchestra will come together for the first time to perform David Bowie\u2019s Where Are We Now?<\/em> from Gillam\u2019s debut album RISE (Decca Classics) which shot to No.1 in the Official UK Classical Chart in April 2019. Taking part is easy:<\/p>\n
