Presto (comfortable) Jessyca Flemming was born in Berlin and studied harp in Weimar, Berlin, and Rostock. At nearly six years old, she began her musical training on the piano, and from the age of seven, she received harp lessons.
Since then, she has performed as a soloist and in duo or trio across Germany and abroad, including Prague and Paris.
She won her first prize at the age of eleven at the "Jugend musiziert" competition, followed by further awards for piano and harp at national and international competitions, as well as sponsorships from the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation Live Music Now, the Neue Liszt Foundation Weimar, the Ernst–Freiberger–Foundation, and the Richard–Wagner–Association Trier.
Since late 2014, Jessyca has held guest performances at the South Thuringian State Theatre/Puppet Theatre Meiningen and also performs in various, sometimes unusual, chamber music ensembles – e.g., in the "Duo Distensione" with oboe, in the "Duo Elysion" with pan flute/flute, or in a duo with saxophone. Besides the Celtic harp and concert harp, Jessyca enchants her audience with different baroque harps and the Paraguayan harp.
Participation in master classes and additional lessons complement her musical education. Stefan Kießling is a freelance concert organist. In 1999, he began as an organist at the Cottbus Monastery Church and managed the musical life around the historic Sauer organ for 15 years. From 2009 to 2018, he was assistant organist at the Thomaskirche Leipzig, regularly performing in motets, church services, and concerts. Since the beginning of his studies, he has maintained an intensive concert activity and has performed in no less than 30 countries across six continents, including performances at St Thomas 5th Avenue (New York City), Washington National Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s London, Hong Kong Cultural Centre, and many others. Born in Görlitz, his musical journey took him through several stages with training in piano, harpsichord, and organ to Leipzig for organ studies, which he began in 2000, deepened with postgraduate studies, and completed with the concert exam in 2008.
