The new album, Not Made of Stone -- Polly's fourth, and the first by Polly Moller & Company -- is now available.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Karl Evangelista’s music explores the sonic capabilities of the guitar in a multi-traditional context, melding spontaneous music with a cross-idiomatic sensibility. He has lately concentrated on the development of a new performance practice for steel-string acoustic guitar, drawing on the instrument’s facility for extended timbres and percussive techniques. Having completed his self-constructed major at UC Berkeley, Karl is pursuing the MFA in Music Performance and Literature at Mills College. His studies have included work with numerous creative musicians of note, including Roscoe Mitchell, Myra Melford, Zeena Parkins, and Ted Moore. Among the many Bay Area musicians with whom he has shared the stage, the guitarist has performed with Francis Wong, John-Carlos Perea, Jordan Glenn, Jason Hoopes, Anantha Krishnan, Andy Strain, Lisa Mezzacappa, and Jason Levis. Karl leads his own quintet and recently debuted a 12-piece ensemble dedicated to the music of
 the Filipino Diaspora.
