Classical Guitar lovers will have the chance to experience a one night only Wollongong concert by Jesse Flowers.
Described as a guitarist of technical brilliance and exquisite control of soft sounds as well as fiery, dramatic playing, Jesse is considered one of the finest guitarists in Europe, captivating audiences at renowned venues such as London’s Wigmore Hall and the Musikverein in Vienna.
Born in Sydney, he completed a Bachelor of Music at ANU Canberra before relocating to Germany where he is now based.
Jesse teaches and lectures at the Akademie für Tonkunst Darmstadt, as a Professor for Guitar, to undergraduate and graduate students.
He also manages a group performance class and presents seminars on guitar repertoire and musical style.
The concert at WollCon will be Jesse’s one and only concert in Wollongong for this Australian tour, which is focussed on the east coast.
The evening will include a special 10 minute opening set from the WollCon Guitar ensemble.
“His playing is calm and communicative, and one is quickly drawn into his performance. Flowers already displays maturity and directness of expression, he has strong ideas and builds drama, contrast and lyricism into the music.”
