Jess Gillam with... Gabriella Teychenne

Published: May 3, 2023, 9:36 a.m.

Jess Gillam's guest this week is conductor Gabriella Teychenn\xe9. Her musical life bounces between conducting brand new music, collaborating with symphony orchestras and she's the founder of Sinfonia Humanitas, a new ensemble whose concert programmes fuse early and contemporary music.

Gabriella and Jess settle in for a listening party of the music they love, including a slice of Italian sunshine from Mendelssohn, a collaboration between folk artist Sam Lee and singer Elizabeth Fraser, a Schumann romance and a classic by Nick Drake.
