Julia Spies and Jesse Flowers met as a result of their successes at the German National Music Competition in 2016. As Duo Amaris, they performed nearly 20 song recitals as part of the 61. National Concert for Young Artists series and have continued to perform regularly since then. They are constantly searching for musical textures and colours that particularly suit the intimate combination of voice and guitar, and strive to place the combination of lyrical singing and storytelling in the foreground of their programmes. In April 2020 they released their Debut-CD ‘Nachtstücke’ with the label PASCHENrecords.
