From the gentlest of whispers to visceral percussive power, Jesse Flowers 'reveals the full potential of the classical guitar' (Badische Zeitung). His refined command of timbre and nuance saturates every note within his repertoire, from the Renaissance era to today's contemporary compositions. His playing has captivated audiences at renowned venues such as Wigmore Hall, Aldeburgh Festival, and the Musikverein in Vienna, and has taken him on concert tours spanning his homeland Australia, Europe, China, and the USA, as well as won him prizes at a plethora of international solo guitar competitions accross Europe. As of April 2020, Flowers is Professor for Guitar at the Akademie FürTonkunst Darmstadt in Germany, where he teaches both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Beyond this he also gives masterclasses at guitar festivals and universities across the world. Born in Sydney to an Australian-Singaporean father and a German mother, Flowers began his studies at the Australian National University under the guidance of Minh Le Hoang and Timothy Kain, before studying with Tilman Hoppstock (Akademie Für Tonkunst) and later Thomas Müller-Pering (Universität der Künste). Throughout his musical journey, the late composer Phillip Houghton served as a significant and cherished mentor.
