Jess Gillam swaps favourite tracks with Italian contemporary classical pianist and composer Olivia Belli. After studying classical piano at an Italian conservatory, Olivia gravitated towards performing the works of contemporary composers such as Philip Glass and Max Richter. Her own compositions are inspired by nature, art, and spirituality, and have been streamed millions of times online. She has performed everywhere from the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam to Montr茅al International Jazz Festival and was commissioned by the 麻豆社 Proms in 2023 to write a piece for the organist Anna Lapwood. Her latest album, 'Daimon', is out now via Sony Classical. Olivia chooses music from Arvo P盲rt, Gino Paoli, Philip Glass and Bach reinvented by the Jacques Loussier Trio, whilst Jess's choices include music by Vivaldi and The Beatles.
