Greetings from Boulder CO-based guitarist\/composer Michael DeLalla. While living in CO these last many years, I was a longtime resident and performing artist in the greater DMV. I still return every July to teach a 2-week classical guitar workshop, and always try to book a tour or a few concerts around those two weeks. The program I will be presenting is called \u201cThe World on Six Strings,\u201d comprised of my works drawn on traditions from every corner of the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One of the very best acoustic guitarists in the world….music of the most exquisite order.” Matt Fink, All Music Guide<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over a long and storied career Michael DeLalla<\/strong> has been serving up a delicious brew of solo guitar compositions and arrangements of traditional tunes gathered worldwide, steeped with his classical training and seasoned with his jazz, Celtic and folk\/world stylings. His fluency on classical, 12-string, and steel-string acoustic guitar showcases gifted improvisation and dazzling technical facility that never sacrifices the richness and poignancy of his compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael\u2019s family-friendly, multi-cultural concert performance includes his wry, sometimes irreverent observations and stories of the experiences that are behind the pieces. An evening with Michael isn\u2019t just a collection of instrumental and vocal works but also an engaging narrative of his travels and travails found in his varied musical habitats, from a capella kan e diskan<\/em> in Breton Gaelic, to evocations of Japanese koto music and the North African o’ud, to tweaking the nose of the classical music world with his raucous “Piece for Steel Drum (If I Played Steel Drum)”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026a sublime and uniquely crafted sonic landscape\u2026 DeLalla creates a sonic vibrancy on this CD that is rich, remarkable and revelatory.” Minor 7th.com<\/a>, about his recording This Is How I Disappear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m fond of saying \u201cI was Zooming before Zoom was cool\u201d\u2014I had been doing streaming concerts and private lessons since well before the pandemic. Here\u2019s a link to one I did here in CO: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GuitaristComposerMichaelDeLalla\/videos\/654239895449262<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
