Paolo Bortolameolli (Conductor), Jess Gillam (Saxophon), Malte Arkona (Moderator), Michael Kube (Conception), Dresdner Philharmonie
It is rare for an instrument to bear the name of its inventor. Like the saxophone, which was first created in the early 1840s as an experiment for brass bands, but soon made the Frenchman Adolphe Sax world-famous. The success of the instrument was so great that gradually a whole family emerged: from the small sopranino (just 29 cm long) to soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone – up to the powerful bass instruments. They all share the golden yellow color of the shiny polished brass – and of course, the characteristic sound that makes the saxophone unique in jazz as well as on the concert stage. Grades 5-8

Dvořák 7

Fri, Apr 17, 2026, 19:00
Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)
Paolo Bortolameolli (Conductor), Jess Gillam (Saxophon), Dresdner Philharmonie
At the center of the concert evening is the brilliant Jess Gillam, one of the most exciting musicians of our time. With her soprano saxophone, she combines technical virtuosity and charismatic stage presence like rarely seen. Two works put the saxophone in the spotlight: Dave Heath's "The Celtic" and James MacMillan's Concerto for Soprano Saxophone and String Orchestra. Both works are tailor-made for Jess Gillam. Heath's "The Celtic" combines Celtic melancholy with rhythmic energy, while MacMillan's work explores the boundaries of the instrument's timbres and expressive possibilities. His most famous is certainly the Ninth, but for many, Antonín Dvořák's Seventh Symphony is his best. This music feels rugged and melancholic, yet compact and strict. There is no superfluous note here, every motif is worked through, every counterpoint has something to say. No question: this is not cozy folk music from a Bohemian village tavern, but highly concentrated symphonic music in the spirit of Beethoven and Brahms.

Long Night of Theater

Sat, Apr 18, 2026, 19:00
Kulturpalast Dresden, Konzertsaal (Dresden)
Paolo Bortolameolli (Conductor), Jess Gillam (Saxophon), Dresdner Philharmonie
In three short concerts, we show how versatile classical music can be. Jess Gillam takes center stage, a musician who makes the saxophone shine like no other. Her energy and enthusiasm for music are absolutely infectious - even if you are not familiar with classical concerts.<br>The soprano saxophone that Jess Gillam plays is a rather unusual instrument in the concert hall. However, in the pieces we present to you today, she shows how diverse and moving it can sound: sometimes lyrical and gentle, sometimes full of power and tension.<br>You will also hear excerpts from Antonín Dvořák's Seventh Symphony. This music tells of deep emotions - longing, pride, and joy. Dvořák composed it with so much heart that it is hard to resist.
