Jess Gillam with... Love Ssega
Jess meets up with Love Ssega to swap some of their favourite music. A founding songwriter and vocalist of Clean Bandit, Love Ssega is hugely in demand for his collaborative work across genres from pop to visual art. He is currently the Philharmonia's artist in residence.
Ssega came with some truly epic Elgar played by Sheku Kanneh Mason, a serious ear worm of an opera chorus by Verdi, and introduced Jess to the incredible voice of Alice Smith (she's been listening to her on loop since). Meanwhile Jess played Ssega Vivaldi arranged by Max Richter, some 12th century vocal music by Hildegard von Bingen, and an elegy to the environment by Marvin Gaye.
