# Event Details - **Event Name**: Bellevue College International Guitar Series: Paolo Angeli in Concert - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 12 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-07:00) - **Event Description**: We are wrapping up this season of our concerts with Paolo Angeli. Anyone who has attended a solo performance by the Sardinian musician – often presented as a single-act piece – knows they are witnessing a Homeric musical journey. It is a voyage of departures and arrivals, where composition and improvisation weave a narrative filled with haunting melodies and concrete sounds that evoke soundscapes ranging from post-industrial to those deeply connected to nature. At the heart of the concert is the prepared Sardinian guitar, conceived by Angeli between 1993 and 1996 and perfected over 30 years through three prototypes. This orchestra-instrument, a hybrid between a baritone guitar, a cello, and a drum set, currently features 25 strings, piano-like hammers, propellers for creating drone sounds, movable bridges, and various attachments—evoking the sounds of a harp, electric kalimbas, kora, and sitar. It is played using plucking, a bow, and percussive techniques. Thanks to his innovative approach—ranging from avant-rock walls of sound, desert-like adagios, flamenco compás, Middle Eastern phrasings, and echoes of minimalism— Angeli has forged a hybrid musical poetics that has allowed him to authoritatively renew the language of contemporary guitar playing. The focus of this performance will be LEMA, the musician's latest work, released in 2025. Lema (Spanish for motto or slogan) is a direct synthesis, capable of encompassing the complexity of a musical thought free from genre boundaries, in which Paolo Angeli develops 30 years of coexistence with the prepared Sardinian guitar. It narrates another Mediterranean, one that does not yield to post-colonial folklore, where a temporary texture and an element claiming post-rock thrusts emerge.
