A SONG AND DANCE: CLASSICAL GUITAR RECITAL | JESSE FLOWERS

From gentle whispers to visceral percussive power, Jesse Flowers ‘reveals the full potential of the classical guitar’ (Badische Zeitung). His playing has captivated audiences at renowned venues such as the Wigmore Hall and the Musikverein in Vienna, and has taken him on concert tours spanning his homeland Australia, Europe, China, and the USA.

Born in Sydney to an Australian-Singaporean father and a German mother, he studied at the Australian National University, under the guidance of Minh Le Hoang and Timothy Kain, before relocating to Germany. Throughout his musical journey, the late composer Phillip Houghton served as a significant and cherished mentor.

This programme draws together works by seemingly disparate composers, all inspired by song and dance. From melodious and lyrical to pulsating and rocking, this programme encompasses it all.
