Classical Guitar lovers will have the chance to experience a one night only Wollongong concert by Jesse Flowers who is touring the East Coast of Australia throughout August.
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.

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, including Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Melbourne, as well as some regional towns in between.
